Текст песни: May the Living be Dead (In Our Wake) + перевод

Said her name was marie

From the banks of the lee

With the prettiest eyes my own had ever seen

Her hair like ripples

They danced with the tide

As our hearts washed away to the sea

Was she sent down from the heavens above

Her breath pure as whiskey my heart fell in love

Now the devil is courtin' a different tune

And I laugh as the tears was the rain

Tell me why no one`s listenin'

Is there nothing at all left to say

In a world so unforgiving

You mean more to me each every day

So may the living be dead in our wake

One cold winters night behind the clouds stars did hide

And the ghost of our souls thanking christ

We`re alive

Our spirits they crackled with lovers first sight

Till the mornin' came fresh with a new

Will you dance with me now heavens child sang

The clown

We`ve nothing left to lose but your wings and

My frown

Where over the hills the valleys will ring

To the sound of our love singin' true

Tell me why no one`s listenin'

Is there nothing at all left to say

In a world so unforgiving

You mean more to me each every day

So may the living be dead in our wake

But the summer sun is melting now

With the leaves i`ll soon be gone

Will you have the strength when the emptiness

Shadows fall

Or will your aching heart be ripped apart

By the beating from the storm

Or will howling gales like yesterdays be gone

Yeah be gone… be gone

Was she sent down from the heavens above

Her breath pure as whiskey my heart fell in love

Now the devil is courtin' a different tune

And I laugh as the tears was the rain

Tell me why no one`s listenin'

Is there nothing at all left to say

In a world so unforgiving

You mean more to me each every day

So may the living be dead in our wake
