《The Lighthouse and the Hourglass (Instrumental)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Lighthouse and the Hourglass - Musée Mécanique

[00:00:27] There are many more of us

[00:00:33] Scattered sails among the gusts

[00:00:38] Coursing 'cross these haunted tides

[00:00:44] With a reason and a guess

[00:00:50] Maybe ours is not of hope

[00:00:55] Maybe our fates lead astray

[00:01:01] For the spell has once been cast

[00:01:03] And once it takes

[00:01:05] We only gather 'round the light and fire the hourglasses make

[00:01:17] There are stills beneath our beds

[00:01:22] Stoked by branches of our fallen family trees

[00:01:28] There is comfort dressed in casket clothes

[00:01:33] And a bottle embalms us as we go

[00:01:42] Well there comes a time to raise

[00:01:47] A flag we've managed for so long

[00:01:53] That is hidden in the waves among the graves of mariners' children

[00:01:59] Who mistook the ocean's way

[00:02:33] There's a lighthouse by the bay

[00:02:38] Where our ships and faiths are safe

[00:02:44] And with every fading flash

[00:02:47] Another wave has crashed

[00:02:48] And every grain of sand is sifting through the hourglass

[00:03:00] There are lines meant to 'cross

[00:03:05] There are burdens meant to stand

[00:03:11] There are curses that the follies of our

[00:03:14] Great grandfathers and their wives

[00:03:17] Have cast upon our lives
