The 12th Day

Autopilot Off

Through the longest night by this candle light
We stand to cut the dark in two
And the concrete rain shattered window panes
But no it never shattered you
As long as there is blood inside my veins

I will sing this out
Till the sun beats down
And we rise to meet the sky
On that day I swear
I will see you there
I will heal these wounded eyes
These wounded eyes

And the 12th day showed that the sun still rose
As we tried to find our way
Through the steel and smoke
Though it smouldered
We were cold and blanketed by grey
All we had was everything we gave

I will sing this out
Till the sun beats down
And we rise to meet the sky
On that day I swear
I will see you there
I will heal these wounded eyes
These wounded eyes

And our scars have made us stronger
Turning strangers into brothers
We remember
We recover
As we hold on to each other

And our scars have made us stronger
Turning strangers into brothers
As we hold on to each other
In a silent moment we think of you now

I will sing this out
Till the sun beats down
And we rise to meet the sky
On that day I swear
I will see you there
I will heal these wounded eyes
These wounded eyes

These empty spaces across a bruised skyline
The names and faces
I can't erase them from my mind
These empty spaces across a bruised skyline
The names and faces
I can't erase them from my mind
