[Intro] [Verse 1] The scales are turned to rust The wolves begin to feast We build the heavy crowns up For the belly of the beast [Verse 2] Step into the open Where the quiet river flows But the hidden wires catch us And the heavy shadow grows No way out Only waiting Only cages left behind [Pre-Chorus] Every cage is lined with velvet Every sparrow fears the sky But the heavy root remembers How the river won't run dry [Chorus] Gentle waters in the grey Wash the serpent's tongue away Let the iron walls decay In the quiet light of day Wake the garden Reach the higher Make a spark without the fire Let the gentle waters be To wake the heart in me [Verse 3] To the silver They are always chasing silver Next to me Inside the poison of the ear And every honest beat between us Turns to iron when they're near [Bridge] [glitch sound] Weightless now The statues disappear And all I hear Is beating [Final Chorus] Gentle waters in the dawn Watch the heavy greed withdraw Every sparrow finds its song And suddenly the chains are gone Take me farther Take me through it Heal the garden we once ruined Gentle waters set us free To become what we should be [Outro] And with the clearing smoke Still in the meadow We don’t need to hide
