The Horror and The Wild by The Amazing Devil Lyrics
[Verse 1: Madeleine Hyland]
You were raised by wolves and voices
Every night I hear them howling deep beneath your bed
They said it all comes down to you
[Joey Batey]
You’re the daughter of silent watching stones
You watch the stars hurl all their fundaments
In wonderment, at you and yours, forever asking more
[Both]
You are that space that’s in between every page, every chord and every screen
You are the driftwood and the rift, you’re the words that I promise I don’t mean
We’re drunk but drinking (sunk but sinking)
They thought us blind (we were just blinking)
All the stones and kings of old will hear us screaming at the cold
[Pre-Chorus: Both]
Remember me I ask, remember me I sing
Give me back my heart you wingless thing
[Chorus: Both]
Think of all the horrors that I
Promised you I’d bring
I promise you, they’ll sing of every
Time you passed your fingers through my hair and called me child
Witness me, old man, I am the Wild
[Verse 2: Madeleine Hyland]
You are the son of every dressing up box
And I am Time itself, I slow to let you play
I steal the hours and turn the night into day
[Joey Batey]
Day by day oh lord three things I pray
That I might understand as best I can
How bold I was, could be - will be - still am, by god still am
[Both]
Fret not dear heart, let not them hear
The mutterings of all your fears, the fluttering of all your wings
Welcome to the storm, I am thunder
Welcome to my table, bring your hunger
[Chorus: Both]
Think of all the horrors that I
Promised you I’d bring
I promise you, they’ll sing of every
Time you passed your fingers through my hair and called me child
Witness me old man, I am The Wild
[Bridge: Both]
Remember me, Remember me, Remember me, Remember me
Remember me I ask. Remember me I sing
[Chorus: Joey Batey]
Think of all the horrors that I
Promised you I’d bring
I promise you, they’ll sing of every
Time you passed your fingers through my hair and called me child
Witness me old man, I am the
Think of all the horrors that I
Promised you I’d bring
I promise you, they’ll sing of every
Time you passed your fingers through my hair and called me child
Witness me, old man, old man, old man, I am the
You were raised by wolves and voices
Every night I hear them howling deep beneath your bed
