Forgive Durden Holy The Sea Lyrics

Holy The Sea lyrics
Please take a seat
Let me tell you both a tale of love and hope
It's a story that you may have heard before
Told as mythical lore
But this translation is clear
Unlike the embellishments that have reached your ears

There was a boy who shared your bones
Your eager blood, your affinity for love
He had it all in his hands
And he watched it all turn to sand

If this boy they speak of sincerely sits atop my family tree
Then I was truly meant to leave the dark
Down this path set out in front of me
I will reunite this world's divided halves, fulfill my history
This is more than divine decree, it's my destiny

Digging 'round the deep, only missing out on sleep
Chasing 'bout my head like the wolf that found the sheep
Don't go digging 'round there, you be slipping bit too much
Milling muck and mud with the mind that lost its touch

I been traveling 'bout in time, never stepping out for much
Deepest of the deep with the wolf that lost those sheep
Because it's more than a little but less than a bunch
Found their way around with the blind that lost its touch

The choices he made that day
To burn down the world he'd helped create
Don't be scared, kid, you're gifted
Follow this stream and live out that prophecy

Watch out for the wicked ones
Who call themselves beloved ones
Beware of the medicine
Before you lay your head again
Watch out for the wicked ones
Who call themselves beloved ones

So they arrived at the doctor's camp, his crude shack
A shanty with walls of broken glass
Light leaking through the shattered cracks
And though he was cordial the young couple was doubtful

If this boy they speak of sincerely sits atop my family tree
Then I was truly meant to leave the dark
Down this path set out in front of me

For the longshoremen had warned them
To keep a close eye on their adored ones
But they had journeyed for a reason
They were here for the medicine

To cure the infection
But nothing could prepare him
For the events that would ensnare them
All he could do is trust what he knew
He would listen to his gut and live for his love
