lyrics

We saw an opening in the ocean
As it closed we dove in
The mouths of people hanging open
We made our choice when we were chosen

In the August of the homeworld
I'm your pilot I'm your homegirl, look around

The night, a dusty pink enfolding
Our little hearts, our breath still holding
A little longer, a softer morning
We never drowned while we were burning

In the twilight of the moment
I'm your sweetheart I'm your soldier, carry on

Hosanna, Hosanna,
Oh God I only wanna be with you
But there's a million other people in my room

With the floodgates spilling over
I am steadfast I'm your lover, how are you?

If this is the ending,
There's a joy that lies pretending in our hearts
Your body is a furnace radiating
Through my cold anemic parts

Fire above, and the oceans to soothe
All the stars falling down round a sanguine red moon
My love, my love, I have nothing to prove
Just a body to lose and a temple for you

We saw an opening in the ocean
The parted sea already closing
The eyes of watchers watching hopeless
We made our choice when we were chosen

In the August of the homeworld
I'm your pilot I'm your homegirl
I'm your sweetheart I'm your soldier
I'm the whole world on your shoulder
I'm your lifeline, I'm your anchor
I am joy and I am anger
I am hopeful, I am rising,
I'm salvation, I am trying
