Sleeping At Last - Earth lyrics

I dig 'til my shovel tells a secret Swear to the earth that i will keep it Brush off the dirt And let my change of heart occur Sold soon after the appraisal The hammer struck the auction table Louder than anything i've ever heard Fault lines tremble underneath my gla** house But I put it out of my mind Long enough to call it courage To live without a lifeline I bend the definition Of faith to exonerate my blind eye “'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe” Meanwhile, my family's taking shelter The sparks send the fire down the wire A countdown begins Until the dynamite gives in The echo, as wide as the equator Travels through a world of built up anger- Too late to pull itself together now Fault lines tremble underneath our gla** house But i put it out of my mind Long enough to call it courage To live without a lifeline I bend the definition Of faith to exonerate my blind eye “'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe” There was an earthquake There was an avalanche of change We were so afraid We cried ourselves a hurricane There were floods Tidal waves over us So we folded our hands and prayed Like a domino These wildfires grow and grow Until a brand new world takes shape Fault lines tremble underneath our gla** house But i put it out of my mind Long enough to call it courage To live without a lifeline I bend the definition Of faith to exonerate my blind eye “'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe” “'Until the sirens sound, I'm safe” “'Until the sirens sound, I'm safe”
