"Taken By The Hand" lyrics

"Taken By The Hand"

Man and his wife were walking naked in the night
Long tall shadows flickered in the candle light
Walk him to the sand, where she takes him by the hand
And they begin to bond
And they sang this song knowing not they're wrong

Tan electric pours out from these naked pores
Worlds collide, never passed this way before
And she walks him to the sand, where they meet the other man
And they begin to bond
And they sang this song knowing not they're wrong

Standing alone
She takes him by the hand, takes him by the hand
Floating along
She takes him through the sand, where they meet the other men
They'll be standing alone
She takes him down to sand, where she takes the other men
They'll be floating along
She takes him, takes them

Mirrors of dawnlight reflecting the three-sided star
Swift as the arrows descend on the battle
The light and the dark parted by rivers of fire
Come lay you down by your wounded love as she dies
All alone
Come lay you down as she dies all alone

Silence descends on the fields as the moon watches on
Bloodied and ragged the fighters continue up
Those who remain rushing to waters so calm
Feeling their bodies lifted up as they drown
All alone
Come to the field as you drown all alone

Give me the world, his shrill voice demands
Wonders at the cuts and bruises left upon his hands
Then giving him the word, then giving him the world
They begin to bond
And they sang this song knowing not they're wrong

Standing alone
She takes him by the hand, takes him by the hand
Floating along
She leads him through the sand, where they meet the other men
They'll be standing alone
She makes him understand when she takes him by the hand
They'll be floating along
She takes him, takes them
