Laurentian Ghosts

After the Burial

Ever-flowing white ghosts form on my fingertips
Balanced in peace, dancing in light
My grip blooms and blossoms forever moreIncubated, in silence we find tranquility
Distilled into memories, we shut off, retired among the infinite

We aim for balance standing on cannonballs
Outside the battlefields
We aim for balance standing on cannonballs
We slam on clay and dig deep (dig deep)
And labyrinth trenches around craters we call home
Such an amazing defeat

Rage
I will put this all back inside of me
Ghosts of my past lift me up (lift me up)
Carry me through blinding night

Rage
Find me beneath the iron mines
Below 10, 000 lakes
Find me beyond the pines

Now face your back to the storm
Forget the shelters you would seek before
Let your feet hit the ground
Don′t look back to where the siren sounds

We aim for balance standing on cannonballs
Outside the battlefield
We aim for balance standing on cannonballs
We slam on clay and dig deep (dig deep)
And labyrinth trenches around craters we call home
Such an amazing defeat

We misplace dreams and study braille throughout the dark
And there's hope for a better future
And there′s hope for a better life

Rage
I will put this all back inside of me
Ghosts of my past lift me up (lift me up)
Carry me through blinding night

Rage
Join me beneath the iron mines
Below 10, 000 lakes
Join me beyond the pines
