Ieva Berberian - Ransom lyrics

[Verse 1: Ieva Berberian] What wish will ransom me Unbury violently All innocents, all innocents? Lanterns illumine me Burning the memory Rise innocent, rise innocent [Verse 2: Ieva Berberian] What rage will usher me Swallow the enemy Buy innocence, buy innocence? Lanterns illumine me Incense from memory Rise innocent, rise innocent [Verse 3: Ryan Lott] Or is the long war won? The army in me gone Overrun? To heal this violent son A breath from one last lung Overcomes [Interlude: Ryan Lott] Pull out the song from every open mouth at once The lantern tongues! Pull out the song from every open mouth at once The lantern tongues!

And I will hear the song in every heart at once The roaring drums The harlot and the priest, the prophet and the thief Up from their knees In all their open mouths I see the lantern tongues Light up at once In all their open mouths I see the lantern tongues Light up at once [Verse 1: Ieva Berberian] What wish will ransom me Unbury violently All innocents, all innocents? Lanterns illumine me Burning the memory Rise innocent, rise innocent [Verse 2: Ieva Berberian] What rage will usher me Swallow the enemy Buy innocence, buy innocence? Lanterns illumine me Incense from memory Rise innocent, rise innocent
