Nick O’Connor - Revelation Days Lyrics

I could have stayed here
Under the ruling of you
I could have grown here
With nothing refused

In this cycle
Nothing's in love
In the morning
This life is never enough

We are a new
Species of youth
We are undressed
Showing scars of unrest
We're hard to explain
Come Revelation Days

I could have stayed back
See it wash away
I could have known that
This fight would soon fray

In this capital
The least of us are unknown
But in this city
Our worth is under-thrown

We're never saved
Except for with grace
We're children in the midst
Slow to a fist
But we won't be late
Come Revelation Days

Revelation Days

Revelation Days

I could have been home
When it all burned down
I could have learned to
Make peace with the ground

In this childhood
Everything's numb
In the fasting
Our hunger's better than none

It's never clear
Why we are here
We're strangers of earth
On adventures of new birth
But we're not afraid
Come Revelation Days

Revelation Days
Revelation Days
Revelation Days
