"Heaven's Breath" lyrics

The Avett Brothers & Mike Patton Lyrics

"Heaven's Breath"

Who is the mother of ice and frost
What of my soul has been lost
To have it back, what will it cost
Come back down

Come back down mama

Which one of you here guides the abyss
The crack of thunder the serpent's hiss
A world of pain
A bed of bliss
A demon's waltz
An angel's kiss

Come back down
Come back down
Come back down
Come back down mama

Come back down
Come back down
Come back down
Come back down

Come back down
Come back down
Come back down
Come back down...

To grace the bedside of your death
To glimpse the truth that I'm bereft

Up from here to heaven's breath
Out of the wreckage to heaven's breath
Out of the fire to heaven's breath

Come back down
Come back down
Come back down
Come back down mama
