Moments Last Forever Lyrics by Kris Drever, John McCusker, Roddy Woomble

Before the Ruin

0

[Verse 1]
Every Eden has its serpent
Only the poets can explain
Why the sun shines bright through buildings
That we're breaking down
[Verse 2]
Why does the distance look more innocent
Than the horizon it became?
Like the men who built this industry
So their sons can break it down
[Pre-Chorus]
On a boat
That's drifting silently
On waves
That run
Clear of the anchor
They'll keep me close to land
Until I'm awake
[Chorus]
And moments only last forever
And who we are
Is who we blame
Running away from what we know
Between momеnts that won't last forever
And who we arе
Is what remains
For the moment, it's all we know
[Verse 3]
On the breath that carries people
To the work that gives them claim
To be secure in their tombs
They should be breaking down
But from this far out of town
Still you whisper in my ear
But every action carries incident
Just as the sun is breaking down
[Pre-Chorus]
Under waves
Sinking silently
But the water
Runs as
Clear as your anger
Lead and lamprey
Stealing me away
[Chorus]
And moments only last forever
And who we are
Is who we blame
You can't blame yourself for the things you know
It's these moments that won't last forever
And who we are
Is who we blame
Moments of what you know
And moments only last forever
And who we are
Is who we blame
Moments of what you know
