secret of life

Lord Huron

I sit alone in the dark, and I try to remember
The words you spoke when you summoned the Ender
You chained my life to an ancient master
Will the curse be reversed if I say it backwards?

What you crossed was a line at the edge of the void
And you can t crawl back without making a choice
But then something escaped when you opened the gate
You cheated death and sealed your fate

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
1, 2, 3, 4

Put on your new dress tonight
Have a look to the west, the moon s in the sky
I wanna get at least that high
Wanna leave the Earth and my things behind
You told me you re never gonna die
How am I supposed to sleep through the night?
You showed me the secret of life
I can t forget that look in your eye

Been a long time gone, living out on the coast
It s a long way back from the edge of the cosmos
Truths once known never come unknown
I learned that lesson lives ago
To die for good, it must be earned
The ways of death can never be learned
And the life I ve lived is only dust
The darkness comes for all of us

Put on your new dress tonight
Have a look to the west, the moon s in the sky
I wanna get at least that high
Wanna leave the Earth and all things behind
You told me you re never gonna die
How am I supposed to sleep through the night?
You showed me the secret of life
I can t forget that look in your eye

La, da, da
La, da, da
