They Came From The Hills Lyrics


Now is the time

To realign the firmament

For us to find the right words

Bring on the end of memory

What is missing in this place

Is inside yourself

A history of bittersweet sickness

And inner violence

While we were trying to find

What we cannot live without

A secret life took hold

Shadows growing longer

They were up in the trees

It was everywhere

We are all on this wood path

We have lost our way

They came from the hills

They came for everyone

They were desperate to be seen

And made my heart their home

We come from the hills

We comfort everyone

First we reap then we sow

Out of their hands we go

Out of their hands we go

There is healing in the howling of their names

There is healing in the howling of their names

They came from the hills

They came for everyone

They were desperate to be seen

And made my heart their home

We come from the hills

We comfort everyone

First we reap then we sow

Out of their hands we go

The only place that I have ever loved

Is a place I left behind

We will never stop our singing

Whatever happens now let’s turn it into something real
