"Skellig" lyrics - DAVID GRAY

[Intro:]
One, two, three, four

Oh, that the song I'm singing
Was an ocean wide
And that the word I'm bringing
Reaches over to the other side
Each heart a burning vessel
Out on a pitch black wave
Chewing the bone and gristle
When it's the flesh of love we crave

When a lie starts dancing
Oh boy, it sure can run
Be halfway around the world
'Fore the truth can get its trousers on
And in a nightclub mirror
I caught the merest glimpse
Of my pre-human spirit
Frozen like a deer in the headlamps
'Til it just don't matter
Until we're far from care
When illusion shatters
You see the carnage everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere

So with a taste like metal
Through the fog of war
So many hurts like nettles
Growing up around my door
I'm gonna cut that stairway
Yeah, with my own bare hands
Up to that high rock plateau
Make my home inside the winds
Inside the winds
Inside the winds
Up to that high rocky plateau
Make my home inside the winds
