When you're whistling past the graveyard
In the valley of the shadow
It's a dream of angel armies
CHORUS
Well we heard that Blood's a Rover
Now we're walking toward the future
Act in the living present CHORUS
We used to cringe at heat death
We ride Lanaikea
We watch the Light from the beginning CHORUS
