lyrics

Out on the wide open sky,
skirting right round the edge
of endless ice and dark, darkest fire.
Carry all of these souls,
crashing waves as we climb the winter sky.
Nine days and nights.
By the blood of the blackest sea.
Hold the light
'cross an ocean of bones and broken dreams,
and here we go again.

Each time we ride out on this way,
the fragile deal, the fragile deal
is set and swept all away.

Carry all through the day
and fly out over the night
for Monoceros' bright, bright ruby eye.
Sirens call one by one.
Seven thrones to bring you home
with open arms, oh hold the light.
Cast out wide for the starboard side.
The trick of the ride
is knowing how our dreams collide,
and here we go again...

Each time we ride out on this way,
the fragile deal, the fragile deal
is set and swept all away.

Let it ride, let it ride, all night.
Hold on tight, let it ride, ride on down.
Let it ride, hold on tight, we're going down.

Break all these tiny bones in two
and race them down without a sound.
Nine days and nights.
Cast out wide for that silver lullaby,
and here we go again...

The fragile deal is swept away
every time we ride this way.
Hold tight, hold the light, we're goin down.
