lyrics

may the winter sun
shine on everyone
may a love that's true
find its way to you
let heav'n and earth sing alleluia
alleluia

may the summer rain
fall upon your grave
may the oceans rise
leave no one alive
let heav'n and earth sing alleluia
alleluia

i remember crying softly in the canyon
whispering your name but nothing really happened
everything i thought i was began to shatter
all the fairy tales every ever after
tried to take a breath but felt like i was drowning
opened up my eyes to starlight all around me
multiverses shone like gold dust in the ocean
i can see my whole life infinite and open
now i am a baby, sick and barely breathing
every single footstep following a feeling
homesick for a home that i will never see and
trying to be someone i will never be
now i am a child singing in the choir
preacher in the pulpit spitting tongues of fire
now i'm on my deathbed begging for forgiveness
galaxies revolve with no one there to witness
i see every timeline where i have a father
every past and future where i have a daughter
sometimes i'm a villain sometimes i'm a martyr
high on wishful thinking drinking holy water
every life i play the hand that i was given
every pain is destined right from the beginning
started with a bang some fireworks and flashes
nothing i can do but scatter all the ashes
alleluia
