Awful Sound (Oh Eurydice) - Arcade Fire

You and I were born

In a little town

Before the awful sound

Started coming down

Oh no

Oh

You came home from school

And knew you had to run

Please stop running now

Just let me be the one

For you

I know you can see

Things that we can’t see

But when I say I love you

Your silence covers me

Oh, Eurydice, It’s an awful sound

I was so disappointed

You didn’t want me

Oh, how could it be, Eurydice

I was standing beside you

By a frozen sea

Will you ever get free?

Just take all your pain

Just put it on me

So that you can breathe

When you fly away

Will you hit the ground?

It’s an awful sound

I know there’s a way

We can make 'em pay

Think it over and say

«I'm never going back again.»

I know there’s a way

We can leave today

Think it over and say

«I'm never going back again.»

You were born in the little town

Before the awful sound

Started coming down

There’s so much inside you

That you won’t let me see

You fly away from me

But it’s an awful sound

When you hit the ground

It’s an awful sound

When you hit the ground

I know there’s a way

We can make 'em pay

Think it over and say

«I'm never going back again.»

I know there’s a way

We can leave today

Think it over…

We know there’s a price to pay

For love in the reflective age

I met you up upon a stage

Our love in a reflective age

Oh no, now you’re gone
