At the edge of the water, at the foot of the hills
Fogs claws at the mountain and the passing ships
If desolation were a sound, I've heard it

Trample the tall grass, let distance darken my skin
Swim in grey oceans, that end where they begin
If desolation were a sound, I've heard it

There's hope in desolation
It's a familiar sound
There's hope in desolation

Black boots on the pavement, under the midnight sun
Older than imagination, savage as can be
If desolation were a sound, I've heard it

There's hope in desolation
It's a familiar sound
There's hope in desolation

There's mercy after all
There's mercy after all

There's hope in desolation
It's a familiar sound
There's hope in desolation
It's a familiar sound
There's hope in desolation
It's a familiar sound
There's hope in desolation
