Lights in the West

from Vectors by Subterranean Howl

/

lyrics

Children only take what you can carry in your arms
You've got to make like bats in the night
There's people around here that want to do you harm
You'll find a space where you don't have to fight

Leave your mother to herself
She needs a moment to herself
Never thought we would leave this place
We would leave this place

Throwing dead bodies off the side of the ship
Staring at your friends wondering, Who's going next?
Some find love, some go to find heaven
Sometimes I swear I see faces in the midst

Children we're the lucky ones
We are God's daughters and God's sons
We know where we're going and where we're from
Don't you ever forget
Don't you ever forget

Didn't think we'd have to leave so soon to go west
Leaving tracks in the snow with your bloody feet
Had to burry baby girl in the frozen earth
Sometimes a mother wonders why she gives birth
Walking from the sunrise into the sunset
Sometimes I swear I see lights in the west
Sometimes I hear voices calling our names

Children we're the lucky ones
We are God's daughters and God's sons
We know where we're going and where we're from
Don't you ever forget
Don't you ever forget
