Elysium
36 Crazyfists (2) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And in the harbor she sleeps
On her anchor waiting direction
Then through the storms we align
Life and search forever after

So we gather our way to
Answer all of our failures
(Failures)

With hope and redemption
Rest inside the flames
Just continue the chase

Through the darkest
Across the mouth
And into this ocean
We see through skin
To never forget

When all hope is lost
Hearts turn to lock
Set your sights to improve
Set your sights to improve

We gather our way to
Answer all of our failures
(Failures)
With hope and redemption
Rest inside the flames
Continue the chase

Through the darkest
Across the mouth
And into this ocean
We see through skin
To never forget

When all hope is lost
Hearts turn to lock
Set your sights to improve
Set your sights to improve

Don't let the lights turn out
This watery grave
Inside every page
Avoiding, avoiding

Don't let the lights turn out
Don't let the lights turn out
Don't let the lights turn out
Don't let the lights turn

Across the mouth
And into this ocean
We see through skin
To never forget

When all hope is lost
Hearts turn to lock
Set your sights to improve

And rest inside the flames
Rest inside the flames

Rest inside the flames
Rest inside the flames
