Mike Braudrick - Put To Rest Lyrics

Am I, to say or see
Alone, whether here or there
Away, far from anywhere
Were I, to stay or flee
Away, rather left to be
Alone, love, though I carry
In time, put to rest, I believe

Cold shoulder the weight of the world
Over and under the black of the pearl
Horizon's sun on the rising tide
Walk the plank with my pleasure and pride
Crow in the nest, one leg and one eye
Bow to rest, vow not to beg or to cry
One man alone, one promise, one goal
A sea of thieves to burn one and all
Never give up, never surrender

Am I, to say or see
Alone, whether here or there
Away, far from anywhere
Were I, to stay or flee
Away, rather left to be
Alone, love, though I carry
In time, put to rest, I believe

Breath of a dragon, burning sulfur
Death of a monarch, free to suffer
In a hospital bed lie the brave
Awaiting dust in a church yard grave
So what of the rest of us
God took the best of us
The soul remains, yet her name rings
Sing for the weary, drowning hell's screams
Never give up, never surrender

Am I, to say or see
Alone, whether here or there
Away, far from anywhere
Were I, to stay or flee
Away, rather left to be
Alone, love, though I carry
In time, put to rest, I believe

I believe, discouraging
I receive, resurfacing
I decree, the re-birthing
I refuse, all these empty broken little things
I have made
