lyrics

I heard of a place, a place we'll be, hand in hand side by side in the sand by the glassy sea. If you get there before me, wait for me please. To tell you the truth I'd do the same for you, to tell you the truth I'm scared of the distance we'll travel through.
My grip on you may be slipping, but hold on, we'll claim victory, we are creatures of habit and our habitats, I don't want to be around for the after math, I want to be lying under dark green grass when the scales tip and the planets crash into each other no will be around to see our epitaphs that read.
One day, all our lungs will collapse.
The thought of heaven, scares the hell out of me, and the thought of hell, well, points me to heaven. But I don't want fear to drive what I believe, I want hope to be the compass, to be the map that guides me to, the glassy sea.
I know we'll stand side by side on that shore hand in hand, tears dried, blind eyes opens wide, filled with joy, filled with peace, at the sight of our king.
But until that day brother, hold on to hope.
And until that day sister, hold on to hope.
And until that day we can hold onto each other as we hold on to hope because that's all we've got left.
Even though the thought of heaven is daunting I know I'm the end I'll never be wanting because one day all our lungs will collapse.

This Is For Our Sins
by Lowercase Noises

supported by 26 fans who also own “The Glassy Sea”

There is something haunting about the family having zero clue about WW2 in its entirety. I remember learning about them and wondering and I still wonder now how many are still in the wilderness, driven there by atrocities or not. Many find being alone to be fear inducing. But they left and isolated out of fear to begin with. This music is just the tip of the iceberg for how haunting and emotional the situation is. It does its job as well as possible, though. Amazing. jacensolodjo

Can't recall how I found this release but I'm glad I did. Take whatever mood you're in and by the time you finish listening to this if you aren't left in a reflective, calm and ultimately grateful state about life - seek medical help. Beautiful. DJ Osric
