WOODS OF YPRES LYRICS

1. Falling Apart

…We are almost whole…
…We have burned it down – again and again…
…Returning to foundation – year after year…
…Suffering from neglect and deterioration…
We are almost whole
We have burned it down – again and again
Returning to foundation – year after year
Suffering from neglect and deterioration

Bodies waiting for demolition
Once and for all

We’re taking closure with satisfaction
There could be no turning back
Deny yourself your mixed emotions
You have a job to do, so wipe away your tears
And drive it forward now

I see you falling apart, but I know you’re not worth tearing down
I see you falling apart, but I know you’re not worth tearing down
I see you falling apart, but I know you’re not worth tearing down
I see you falling apart, but I know you’re not worth tearing down

…The floor is running out beneath us…
…The caving roof was pouring in…
…Broken glass lie all around us…
…The doors will slam right off their hinges…
The floor is running out beneath us
The caving roof was pouring in
Broken glass lie all around us
The doors will slam right off their hinges

We’re past the point of no return here
Nothing can be salvaged now
So look past your hesitations
You have a job to do, so gather up your strength
And drive it forward now

I see you falling apart, but I know you’re not worth tearing down
I see you falling apart, but I know you’re not worth tearing down
I see you falling apart, but I know you’re not worth tearing down
I see you falling apart, but I know you’re not worth tearing down

I’m afraid to start this
I want to tear you down
But if you leave without this
I’m going to tear it all right down
Right now

…We are almost whole… (…The floor is running out beneath us…)
…We have burned it down – again and again… (…The caving roof was pouring in…)
…Returning to foundation – year after year… (…Broken glass lie all around us…)
…Suffering from neglect and deterioration… (…The doors will slam right off their hinges…)

2. You Were The Light

Your pretty causes
Make great conversation
While another world is yearning
Painfully for an end

And who will save me now
Now that you are gone
And who will save you from yourself
You were the light
That shone brightly in the night
You were the light
That shone harshly on my life

Think of me when you are weak
Whenever when you are strong
Pretending that I'm OK
Will comfort when you are lost

And who will save me now
Now that you are gone
And who will save you from yourself
You were the light
That shone brightly in the night
You were the light
That shone harshly on my life

Close the door and cry,
Or lock it up from the outside.
Look down on me from the balcony,
And hold the railing tight.

And if you changed your mind
Then you are justified
And if you changed your mind
You'd know that you were right

And you will be just fine

The more you knew
The less you wanted to
You made our decisions on your own
And left me without a choice to choose

None of this
Will ever haunt you now
Since there is no one else
Accounting for your cruelty but me
You will see no consequence
And though I am not to blame
I suffer all the same

And who will save me now
Now that you are gone (now that you are gone)
And who will save you from yourself
You were the light
That shone brightly in the night
You were the light
That shone harshly on my life
You were the light
That flash and left me in the dark
You were the light
The only light I'll ever know
You were the light
You were the light
You were the light
You were the light
