Lyrics for As Hope And Promise Fade - Recorded Live At Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Toronto, ON on April 20, 2011

As I fall I leave a scar upon the sky A simple note for you I wait for your reply And in your answer I regain the will to to try [Chorus] Hover in the diving light We will rip the night Out of the arms of the sun One more time Close your eyes and we will fly Above the crowded sky And over the dumbstruck world we will run In these hills they wash the gold and graves away To the valley under all of this I lay And there you dig me out, unearthed and saved [Chorus] We can rip the night out of the arms of the sun A blood red feather leaves a scar upon my hand No longer stranded like a painted bird on a fan [Chorus] We can rip the night out of the arms of the sun [Repeat: x3]
