Lyrics Breath of Heaven - The Hound + The Fox

A perfect frame outlining the dawn
A distorted picture of a past long gone
White sand so soft is filling my palms
Running through my fingers like an hourglass
Carving your likeness into marble and steel
While mountains crumble and are washed to the sea
A wasteful war long time foreseen
Overturned your statues brought oblivion
You′ve tried to save yourself from death and decay
But gold will fall and white turns gray
Oh vanity becomes so small
Like mighty kings when time takes it's toll
Walking through the fields of gold
In the distance bombs can fall
Boy we′re running free facing light in the flow
And in cherry trees we're hiding from the world
But the golden age is over
But the golden age is over
Boy we're dancing through the snow
Waters freeze the wind blows
Did you ever feel we′re falling as we grow
No i would not believe the light could ever go
But the golden age is over
But the golden age is over
Listen i can hear the call as i′m walking through the door
Did you ever dream we'd miss the mornings in the sun
The playgrounds in the streets
The bliss of slumberland
Boy we are family no matter what they say
But boys are meant to flee and run away one day
When the golden age is over
When the golden age is over
But the golden age is over
But the golden age is over
And gabriel appeared to mary and said
Do not be afraid mary you have found favor with god
You will be with child and give birth to a son
And you are to give him the name jesus
He will be great and will be called the son of the most high
And the lord god will give him the throne of his father david
And he will reign over the house of david forever
His kingdom will never end
I have traveled many moonless nights
Cold and weary with a baby inside
And i wonder what i′ve done
Holy father you have come and chosen me now
To carry your son
I am waiting in a silent prayer
I am frightened by the load i bear
In a world as cold as stone must i walk this path alone
Be with me now
Be with me now
Breath of heaven hold me together
Be forever near me breath of heaven
Breath of heaven lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness for you are holy breath of heaven
Do you wonder as you watch my face
If a wiser one should have had my place
But i offer all i am for the mercy of your plan
Help me be strong, help me be, help me
Breath of heaven hold me together
Be forever near me breath of heaven
Breath of heaven lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness for you are holy
Breath of heaven hold me together
Be forever near me breath of heaven
Breath of heaven lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness for you are holy breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
