Earth - Sleeping at Last

[00:01.02]I dig 'til my shovel tells a secret,
[00:05.78]Swear to the earth that I will keep it,
[00:10.02]Brush off the dirt
[00:13.02]And let my change of heart occur.
[00:18.22]Sold soon after the appraisal,
[00:22.66]The hammer struck the auction table
[00:26.75]Louder than anything I've ever heard.
[00:34.27]Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house.
[00:40.18]But I put it out of my mind
[00:44.06]Long enough to call it courage
[00:47.96]To live without a lifeline.
[00:51.99]I bend the definition
[00:54.42]Of faith to exonerate my blind eye.
[01:00.39]'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
[01:06.36]Meanwhile, my family's taking shelter.
[01:10.40]The sparks send the fire down the wire,
[01:14.20]A countdown begins,
[01:17.59]Until the dynamite gives in.
[01:22.33]The echo, as wide as the equator,
[01:26.27]Travels through a world of built up anger-
[01:32.08]Too late to pull itself together now.
[01:38.03]Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house.
[01:43.84]But I put it out of my mind
[01:47.92]Long enough to call it courage
[01:51.55]To live without a lifeline.
[01:56.10]I bend the definition
[01:58.07]Of faith to exonerate my blind eye.
[02:03.73]'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
[02:11.48]There was an earthquake.
[02:19.55]There was an avalanche of change.
[02:27.43]We were so afraid,
[02:35.43]We cried ourselves a hurricane.
[02:43.42]There were floods,
[02:46.85]And tidal waves over us,
[02:51.55]We folded our hands and prayed.
[02:59.37]Like a domino,
[03:03.06]These wildfires grow and grow
[03:07.20]Until a brand new world takes shape.
[03:17.72]Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house.
[03:23.33]But I put it out of my mind
[03:27.52]Long enough to call it courage
[03:31.16]To live without a lifeline.
[03:35.34]I bend the definition
[03:37.71]Of faith to exonerate my blind eye.
[03:43.36]'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
[03:51.72]'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
[03:59.69]'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
