about

"These Golden Hearts" finishes off the album. I particularly enjoyed singing the many layers of harmonies in choruses, it was very fun!

lyrics

Lyrics:

Fall, fall we must,
Towards the calming dusk,
Let this body,
Tired of fighting,
Slowly sink beneath the dust.
Oh, to those we love,
Whose eyes aren't truly shut,
No more racing,
No more pain,
These golden hearts,
They beat again.

You take the blood out of the veins,
You lie there still and drop the reins,
In the darkness, lovely darkness,
These golden hearts they beat again.

Sea above the sky,
A door of purest white,
All the clouds and constellations,
Bright as day
And dark as night.
The path travels wide,
And bells of silver chime,
The sweetest sounds
They keep repeating,
And hearts of gold,
They never die.

You take the blood out of the veins,
You lie there still and drop the reins,
In the darkness, lovely darkness,
These golden hearts they beat again.
In the darkness, lovely darkness,
These golden hearts they beat again.

Ooooo,
You lie there still and drop the reins,
In the darkness, lovely darkness,
These golden hearts they beat again.

And now there's not a drop of fear in the air,
There's never not a reason to care,
'Cos it's an easy street
Where all roads meet
When the soul from the body tears.
And now there's never not a moment to care,
there's not a drop of fear in the air (in the air),
'Cos we're on easy street
Where all roads meet
When the soul and the body tear,

Take the blood out of the veins,
You lie there still and drop the reins,
But in the darkness, lovely darkness,
These golden hearts they beat again,
You take the blood out of the veins,
You lie there still and drop the reins,
In the darkness, lovely darkness,
These golden hearts they beat again.
