There's a light beyond the the sticks and stones   Past the piles of broken bones   It could melt a frozen heart   If it needs to be so      It's the place to cut the weeds and wires   And dodge the thorns and quills   It's the place divides divide   Where the rivers stand still      It is time to weather stormy seas   And suck the venom clear   We could clean the poison veins   And while we are here      We could shake the buzzards off out tails   And keep the snakes at bay   Hear the sirens fade and the thunder rumble away   Hear the sirens fade and the thunder rumble away      It's the place tectonic plates will pass each other not to touch   That's the sound of the new silent life   It's the place where all divides divide and the rivers all stand still   That's the sound of the new silent life      That's the sound of the new silent life   That's the sound of the new silent life   That's the sound of the new silent life   That's the sound of the new silent life   That's the sound of the new silent life   That's the sound of the new silent life
