The Ninth Wave Lyrics

She carves our fading initials on the door

As the poster boys of tragedy fell from the backstage wall

The sea breeze carries paper shards over to her

"Could you write Romantic travesty to grace this empty hall?"

And I felt the walls start to cave in

My kingdom collapses beneath breaking amber waves

As they march through the endless sea

Eyes burning endlessly

Oh, castle of ashes that crumbles while we speak

If you're all hollow now

Set me free, set me free, set me free

And your father whispered that we'd not survive the storm,

And as you tasted tidal breeze, did you perceive impending Armageddon

in the ocean's power welling upward from beneath?

And when it washed the streets away

did we find nothing left to save?

You stare into the waves from higher ground

And my kingdom collapses beneath breaking amber waves,

As they march through the endless sea,

Eyes burning endlessly

Oh, castle of ashes that crumbles while we speak

If you're all hollow now

Set me free, set me free, set me free

And I, stuck in between

And all the theories, tearing me to pieces

Do I just fear belief?

Or does the mind just bury me with reasons?

Don't trust what can be washed away

All love, in time, biodegrades

When you're corroded by the water

Don't trust a soul to stay decay

We missed the rapture yesterday

But we'll douse the flames and pray

My kingdom collapses beneath breaking amber waves

As they march through the endless sea

Eyes burning endlessly

Oh, castle of ashes that crumbles while we speak

If you're all hollow now

Set me free, set me free, set me free

Love, set me free!

Set me free

Set me free

But you won't
