[Chorus] Lay down lay down, let it all down Let your white birds smile up at the Ones who stand and frown Lay down lay down, let it all down Let your white birds smile up at the Ones who stand and frown We were so close, there was no room We bled inside each others wounds We all had caught the same disease And we all sang the songs of peace [Chorus] So raise the candles high cause if you Don't we could stay black against the night Oh raise them higher again and if you Do we could stay dry against the rain [Chorus] We were so close, there was no room We bled inside each others wounds We all had caught the same disease And we all sang the songs of peace Some came to sing, some came to pray Some came to keep the dark away So raise the candles high Cause if you don't we could stay Black against the sky Oh oh raise them higher again And if you do we could stay dry against the rain [Chorus]
