lyrics

Sacred Dark (© David Ross Macdonald, 2010)

you know we all have something to hide
i know cause i'm hiding this from you
a lie that's told too early's like a truth that's told too late
so let the saving grace of silence bell

So we hold our secrets closer than our hearts
Closer than I hold you in this warm and sacred dark
And though we lay in silence may our hearts beat loud enough
Guiding hopes between us into the morning light

hearts have rolled the stone of God while
heads cast stones from hell
that fall upon a distant land and time
we warmed our hands by burning books
and stealing blankets sold
we weren't the first but to the last we'll claim this land our own

So we hold our secrets closer than our hearts
Closer than I hold you in this warm and sacred dark
And though we lay in silence may our hearts beat loud enough
Guiding hopes between us into the morning light

solo-tune

words that keep our distance are like fears that keep us close
hatred speaks a thousand tongues and years, but
hearts are won when minds are made by souls who dare to near
forever in our moment we're just minutes in a year

So we hold our secrets closer than our hearts
Closer than I hold you in this warm and sacred dark
And though we lay in silence may our hearts beat loud enough
Guiding hopes between us into the morning light
