Holy Ground

Irreplaceable Sounds
Rolling through the plane
Unsettling
The neighbourhood again
In the gardens they found
No space for growing tall
As the circle's closing off
I can hear a distant call

Hiding from the beast in the backyard
Shadows elongate, the sky appears to crack
There's no sense in the ways they were taught
Playing by the rules will keep em closer

(Holy ground, hide and seek, poison in the pot)
They don't know, something's coming up from below
(No one innocent capable of that)
Their love has given me that only hope
There's nobody around, that's showing them how, yeah

Growing in the shadows, a will to break the oath
The path is full of stones and a biting headwind blows
Strolling through the mountains and crawling in the caves
They shouldn't have revealed their ways but it's in vain

As they're hiding from the beast in the backyard
Shadows elongate, the sky appears to crack
There's no sense in the ways they were taught
Playing by the rules will keep em closer

(Holy ground, hide and seek, poison in the pot)
They don't know, something's coming up from below
(No one innocent capable of that)
Their love has given me that only hope
There's nobody around, that's showing them how, yeah

In the darkness there's a menacing, violent pair of eyes
But they'll rather take the footpath
Than waiting for a bus that will never arrive
Turn around

(Holy ground, hide and seek, poison in the pot)
They don't know, something's coming up from below
(No one innocent capable of that)
Their love has given me that only hope
There's nobody around, that's showing them how, yeah
