[Verse 1] Sit on the edge of the dying world with me Watch the sky turn to blood inside reality The full intoxication of your breath The full annihilation of our selves Feel the life pound inside of our mortal shell Feel the fear as you reach out of your well Run like the creatures of the night from out of hell Forget the sunrise as we ring the mission bell [Chorus] I would hold back the oceans... ...the oceans for your love I would heal what I'd broken... But what's broken isn't now I would hold back the oceans... ...the oceans for your love I forget what is spoken When tomorrow is enough... [Verse 2] We're forged from metal bonded in our memories Every diamond cut that shared our histories Our very human design littered with fallacies Stay the course of our paths to span the galaxies [Chorus] I would hold back the oceans... ...the oceans for your love I would heal what I'd broken... But what's broken isn't now I would hold back the oceans... ...the oceans for your love I forget what is spoken When tomorrow is enough... [Post-Chorus] And you'll come, when I go When it rains, when it snows When it burns, and nobody knows It's the ending afterglow [Guitar Solo / Chorus] [Chorus] I would hold back the oceans... ...the oceans for your love I would heal what I'd broken... But what's broken isn't now I would hold back the oceans... ...the oceans for your love I forget what is spoken When tomorrow is enough... [Outro / Post-Chorus] And you'll come, when I go When it rains, when it snows When it burns, and nobody knows It's the ending afterglow And you'll come, when I go When it rains, when it snows When it burns, and nobody knows It's the ending afterglow
