Secret of Life - Lord Huron

I sit alone in the dark, and I try to remember

The words you spoke when you summoned the Ender

You chained my life to an ancient master

Will the curse be reversed if I say it backwards?

What you crossed was a line at the edge of the void

And you can’t crawl back without making a choice

But then something escaped when you opened the gate

You cheated death and sealed your fate

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Put on your new dress tonight

Have a look to the west, the moon’s in the sky

I wanna get at least that high

Wanna leave the Earth and my things behind

You told me you’re never gonna die

How am I supposed to sleep through the night?

You showed me the secret of life

I can’t forget that look in your eye

Been a long time gone, living out on the coast

It’s a long way back from the edge of the cosmos

Truths once known never come unknown

I learned that lesson lives ago

To die for good, it must be earned

The ways of death can never be learned

And the life I’ve lived is only dust

The darkness comes for all of us

Put on your new dress tonight

Have a look to the west, the moon’s in the sky

I wanna get at least that high

Wanna leave the Earth and all things behind

You told me you’re never gonna die

How am I supposed to sleep through the night?

You showed me the secret of life

I can’t forget that look in your eye

La, da, da

La, da, da
