Lyrics

Anchoress

The summer rain is what she loves

Singing to the rhythm of the thunder above

Prone to possession from the earliest age

They put her upon this earth to live in a cage

She watched the tears from the statue wall

For this turn eternity behind the walls

Countless ties and another advice

The world and everything she'll leave behind

Sanctuary of a different kind

She made her vow

She made up her mind

Heaven knows it ain't the right place to be all the time

She started to believe again

She heard the rain and the thunder above

She's gonna find a new way to channel her love

The pilgrims come to lick the sign

They get their faces painted with a travel design

The seasons turn, she fashions the shroud

Arranging all the apples in symmetrical lines

The tunnel leads to an ancient mound

And there we open up the ground together

A boat is waiting by the river tonight

A rogue, she wake up but she feels the sunlight

In the language of her own kind

She made it loud

She made up her mind

Heaven knows it ain't the right place to be all the time

She started to believe again

She heard the rain and the thunder above

She's gonna find a new way to channel her love
