A greater darkness for all its worth

A friend so young whose life was cut

The little mercies above all things

No final act, no final scene

A friend for life and in death too

Forever strong, forever hold, inside our soul

So raise your hands above the waters
Dm
We are the thieves in giant shoulders

So raise your hands, our hearts sink lower

To watch you drown inside the monster

So raise your hands above the waters

We are the thieves in giant shoulders

So raise your hands...

The day now ends and all within

Is there no end for such a pain?

Is there no hope, no other life, no way to know?
