Radiant Hearts - Black Mountain

Children play softly around the explosions

Tearing up shrapnel, wrapped up in clothing

And I am left waiting for the doctor to sell

Ten thousand one hundreths, it’s all just a blur

Tear at the sheets but there’s no one alive

The static rings true and your head can’t survive

Alone in your castle on the 54th floor

Can’t you hear me calling your name?

Yet, the hardest truth to believe

That all is worth, and all that is gained

Could never replace the most beautiful things

That brought you so close to my heart

Oh heaven’s the place where you’re no longer waiting

For someone to say that this day turned to poison

Roses won’t make her feel better tonight

Now look what you’ve done to the sky

Brassy like queens, mad men in corsets

Paul is waiting for someone to get bent

Chasing the arrows, they swoon while they fly

Can’t you hear me calling your name?

Yet, the hardest truth to believe

That all is worth, and all that is gained

Could never replace the most beautiful things

That brought you so close to my heart

People wandering the same damn old plains

Waiting for wisdom to shout out their names

But never exchanging a look or a thrill

Would shoot you straight dead in the heart

Of beautiful moments…

Lastly, we sing to the senses of order

A mother lay waiting for a children to comfort

That the sky belittered with radiant hearts

Waiting to guide you back home…
