lyrics

In the only town I know
Laced with hills up to its folds
Down the peninsula a grave and final blitz
Save the partisans resist
So we found a cave to stay
And Father locked the girls away
I cased the mountaintops for all that I could hear
But just one time I saw not fear

Please - hide me from the war
I’ll keep you from the darkness
I’ll save you from the storm

In a city far true north
Anna screamed in silence,
Swore
And every breath she risks reverberates the shelves
Of the empty volumes around
As the evil occupies
And iron gates of hate arise
She dreams a cunning boy and a stony edifice
And for once a beat of existence

Please - hide me from the war
I’ll keep you from the darkness
I’ll save you from the storm

She spoke a quiet note into the winds of the storm
It slowly grows from words on a page to the force of our pulse

I know every sign of sleep
Since they have all forsaken me
But when I dream it’s filled with visions of a girl
Who brings hope to this dying world
