The Lake and the River The Dear Hunter

[Verse 1]
Everything you'd live and die for
Reasons leading you through here
Perished matriarchal bonds, failing innocence of love
When the world beckons your approach, it swallows you whole

[Chorus]
You'll believe what you're meant to believe
In the hands of ghosts, we're never responsible
Wait to see what you're meant to see
The veil lifts when you expose your soul

[Verse 2]
Prayed I would leave this place someday
Joined to alarm from long ago, now unconcerned
Euphorically floating upon wax wings, where is the sun?
I still see her face; her beauty, her grace
Transfixed like a light in front of me
It follows my soul, and swallows me whole

[Chorus]
You'll believe what you're led to believe
In the hands of ghosts, we're never responsible
Wait to see what you're meant to see
The veil lifts when you expose your soul
