Lyrics for Hymn for the Unholy
In the quiet of the New Year We will let our old dreams go And when the spring comes If we're ready We can plant new ones to grow But in the silence of this ending We will gather in the snow And it's okay if for tonight, dear There are things you do not know 'Cause we are standing on a mystery We are spinning through the sky Like the ones who came before us Into the wilderness we fly There's so much we have no hand in But look how hard we try I think the Gods are laughing with us I think the stars are standing by 'Cause I've worn diamonds to the party I've worn borrowed, I've worn blue And I've done every single goddamn thing I swore I'd never do Here's a hymn for the unholy For the savage and the true You have only got one life, dear Heed the voice that calls to you And maybe there's a different ending To the fantasy you spun All the breaking and the bending Half your life out on the run All that time you think you wasted Look how many miles you've come There's still air you've never tasted And songs you've never sung So in the quiet of the New Year We will let our old dreams go And when the spring comes If we're ready We can plant new ones to grow But in the silence of this ending Let us gather in the snow And it's okay if for tonight, dear There are things you do not know It's okay if for tonight, dear There are things you do not know
