I see the lines in the palm of its hand now
I listen hard, but no words spring to mind
And it sounds so sweet
Listen to its heartbeat
And I’m drowning in its sea
Falling at its feet
Listen to my heartbeat, baby

And the blood sail leaves tonight
Fated in its blindness
And it won’t be long before help is at hand
In the darkness sleep’s
Cushioning your heartbeat
And I killed the captain
Sank the fleet
To liberate your heartbeat, baby
And it sounds so sweet
Sound so sweet
Listen to my hearts beat

In the darkness sleep’s
Cushioning the heartbeat
And I’m drowning in its sea
Falling at its feet
Listen to my heartbeat, baby

It speaks to ghosts
And souls alike
Spring to life
And doesn’t think twice
Wrapped in the blood sail
Bathed in snow
Nailed to the source
And it won’t let go
Fed on the Bible
Grown from trees
It opened the mind
And the heart was free
A home in the silence
Safe from sound
Where trouble sleeps
And the light is found

Listen to my heartbeat
And it won’t be long
tainai kaiki
Listen to my heartbeat
Cause it won’t be long
Will sound so sweet
Listen to my heart
