Вести скорбные с юга, с запада
В птичьих клювах, в когтях приносятся.
В плен захвачено солнце яркое,
Казнены звезды с неба грозного.

И лежат в запылённой комнате
Штабелями в углах под плинтусом
А вокруг ни беды, ни гнёздышка,
Ни лохмотьев, ни благочестия.

О-о-о-о-о, бросьте меня, я тоже хочу стать святым,
О-о-о-о, может удасться собрать свои гвозди в ладонь.
О-о-о-о, чтоб ощутить теплоту непривычной тоски,
О-о-о-о, я соберу с алтарей пустотелый огонь.

О-о-о-о-о, бросьте меня, я тоже хочу стать святым,
О-о-о-о, может удасться собрать свои гвозди в ладонь.
О-о-о-о, чтоб ощутить теплоту непривычной тоски,
О-о-о-о, я соберу с алтарей пустотелый огонь.

[Verse 1]
My calloused hands
My crippled wings
My calloused hands, my crippled wings, they bring you in

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've been taught if I would just open my hands up to the sky
They'll turn to clouds, whoa
Your crowded hair falls down a narrow hallway

[Chorus]
Oh, just forget it, just forget it, and close your eyes
I never said it, never said it, (?) surprise
Come on let it, let it move, let it move, move
Let it, let it, let it move, let it move, move
Oh, just forget it, just forget it, and close your eyes
I never said it, never said it, (?) surprise
Come on let it, let it move, let it move, move
Let it, let it, let it move, let it move, move

[Verse 2]
Your scribbled masterpiece
And written poetry

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've been taught if I would just open my hands up to the sky
They'll turn to clouds, whoa
A sky of hands that rains down heavy on us

[Chorus]
Oh, just forget it, just forget it, and close your eyes
I never said it, never said it, (?) surprise
Come on let it, let it move, let it move, move
Let it, let it, let it move, let it move, move
Oh, just forget it, just forget it, and close your eyes
I never said it, never said it, (?) surprise
Come on let it, let it move, let it move, move
Let it, let it, let it move, let it move, move

[Bridge]
Come out I'm waiting on the front porch
You came in from the back door
Drift along the flooded
Sea of muddy waters
Clouds above us crying
Tears of sins all dying
I'm begging for a reason
This year seems like a season
Believe in what we're living
A story with no ending
The storm is beating down

Come out I'm waiting on the front porch
You came in from the back door
Drift along the flooded
Sea of muddy waters
Clouds above us crying
Tears of sins all dying
I'm begging for a reason
This year seems like a season
Believe in what we're living
A story with no ending
The storm is beating down
[Outro]
We're sinking to the sky
Sinking to the sky
We're sinking to the sky
Sinking to the sky
