Before the Wave Lyrics by Hidden

The Hymnal EP

2004

We run our skins up the mast today
Set the bones in the water and sail away
But a prayer repeated won't carry us over
This heavy stretch of water

We lie still as the shore slides, silent
Dripping red and blue and violet
To think inaction could get this violent:
Sleeping on the ocean

Before the wave

Success assured as the anchor lifted
The endless drift is out destination
The young and handsome, wise and gifted:
Eaten by the waters, by the ocean

Before the wave

Like your father went before you
Daughter, this will happen to you
Hold on
