lyrics

sewing mouths shut
the world-killing act
the root now cut
worse than the bite
of wolf’s wet snarl
secrets at night
bound up tight
no more sharp words
hidden in smiles
the sweet with songbird
the tides
the tides
the tides
the tides
they turn
change has come
oh
change has come
all undone forever
the tides
they turn
the tides
how they turn
you brought us to war
and it was the last
you brought us to war
your flag on our mast
you died in this war
you died in this war
you died in this war
so now we fast
the tides
the tides
the tides
the tides
