Feel the oceans as it breathes 00:07
Shivering teeth 00:12
See the mountains where they meet 00:14
Smothering me 00:19
As the wind fends off the waves 00:22
I count down the days 00:26
Heavy stones fear no weather 00:29

I find comfort in the sound 00:53
And the shape of the heart 00:58

As the hills turn into holes 01:08
I fill them with gold 01:12

[English]
Feel the oceans as it breathes
Shivering teeth
See the mountains where they meet
Smothering me
As the wind fends off the waves
I count down the days
Heavy stones fear no weather
...
I find comfort in the sound
And the shape of the heart
How it echoes through the chest
From under the ground
As the hills turn into holes
I fill them with gold
Heavy stones fear no weather
And from the rain
Comes a river running wild that will create
An empire for you
Illuminate
There's a river running wild that will create
An empire for you
An empire for two
An empire for you
An empire for two
And I paint your body black
I hide in your hair
And you're staring back at me
Like I wasn't there
As our bodies become stills
We welcome the fear
Heavy stones fear no weather
And from the rain
Comes a river running wild that will create
An empire for you
Illuminate
There's a river running wild that will create
An empire for you
An empire for two
An empire for you
An empire for two
...
And from the rain
Comes a river running wild that will create
An empire for you
Illuminate
There's a river running wild that will create
An empire for you
An empire for two
An empire for you
An empire for two
...
