Midnight Hands

[Verse 1] Like a new day rising, like a calm before the storm Like fog lifting from valleys on a sleeping forest floor Eyes open slowly as the dust is shaken off To gaze upon the wreckage that the midnight hands have wrought [Bridge] And now I, I feel my temperature rising My body explode I feel like somebody's watching Like I'm not alone I stopped, I vowed right then and said [Hook] Whatever path you take Wherever you might go Whenever you decide to leave I'll follow, I'll follow [Verse 2] We face a crossroad never knowing what's in store There's an angel on my shoulder There's a devil at my door She proclaimed, "Tonight will be the greatest of our lives" And I said, "Don't be so sure, let's just wait until the morning light" [Bridge] [Hook] [Verse 3] There in the clearing we gathered close Under the moon's pale light, we laid out the tools "You don't have to do this. But I forgive you if you don't" She just looked away and said "I know." Gripped by the midnight hands We cradle futures they would prevent Gripped by the midnight hands The line's crossed over The dawn grows closer Let's bite off too much Let's jump with a blind trust In water over our heads [Hook] I won't bet on the falls you take I won't let go if you start to stray I'll be there until you don't wake up, yeah I'll follow I'll follow I'll follow [Hook]
