Lantern - The Ballroom Thieves

The heart believes in something more than what’s been said

The heart’s a two-faced fortune teller

It strangles honesty and ties it to a post

When a seat upon a barstool would be better

Ooh

Ooh-ah-ah-ah-ah

I do not dare to raise my head or move my limbs

To see the valley in this state

I fill my glass and let the evening take its shape

Spinning knives with luckless lovers time and fate

You’re shining still

You’re a lantern on a hill

And I would burn into the ground

To take you home

Ooh

Ooh

Ah

Louder grow the words that fall from fortune’s jagged lips

The anchor and the diving bell

And though I fear I may be rudderless at sea

Aye, aye, I have searched for ground

In deeper wells

You’re shining still

You’re a lantern on a hill

And I would burn into the ground

To take you home, home, home

To take you home, home, home

To take you home, home, home

You’re shining still

You’re a lantern on a hill

And I would burn into the ground

To take you

Home, home

Home, home

The heart believes in something more than what’s been said

The heart’s a two-faced fortune teller
