[Intro]
  
   

[Verse 1]
       
It was seven f

orty seven
        
We were on our

 way to heaven
     
In a race car 

to the stars
             
With a city of

           
 blazing light

         
s embracing us
   
We never thoug

ht to worry, '

cause we

Only thought o

f glory
       
And we trusted

 our lucky sta

rs
      
So we never th

ought mere
           
Seconds would 

    
betray us


[Pre-Chorus]

 Thought we sa

w true

 In the bright

 youth
           
 Ghost of ligh

              
t come shining

      
 through
             
 In the dawn b

           
lue, in a brea

         
th they flew


[Chorus]
           
 Silent now th

           
e sounds of ye

     
sterday
           
 I’m treading 

             
on sacred grou

   
nd again
              
Like a single 

       
errant ray
              
Showing us the

             
 wounds we bot

  
h sustained
              
And our sacred

 
 pain
           
 Till’ silent 

             
fall the sound

           
s of yesterday


[Verse 2]
             
Nothing I do, 

           
nothing I say 

          
will ever turn

 the rising ti

de
             
In the vein of

       
 fever dreams
            
It seems to ri

  
de us
             
We never said 

              
we’re sorry an

      
d the pattern 

wrote the stor

y
         
One more death

 by friendly f

ire
             
All on pain of

           
 missing out o

           
n that final r


ush


[Pre-Chorus]
             
 Did we run th

           
rough before w

           
e knew what it

              
 was we left b

    
ehind?
             
 Hunting ghost

           
lights all the

              
 white nights 

   
through


[Chorus]
           
 Silent now th

           
e sounds of ye

     
sterday
           
 I’m treading 

             
on sacred grou

   
nd again
              
Like a single

And our sacred

 Till’ silent

[Instrumental]
 

[Interlude]
          
 Hear them sof

      
tly sigh
           
 The sounds of

       
 yesterday
          
 Let them heal

        
 our wounds
           
 If I close my

             
 eyes, I can s

     
ee you
              
Oh I can see y

             
ou close enoug

     
h to touch
             
I hardly dare 

             
to dream you, 

            
oh, lest it be

 too much
           
 What’s the mo

             
ral of the sto

 
ry when I
             
Only see us fi

           
ghting, elegy 

  
to
              
To the starry-

 
eyed
  
Ooh

[Chorus]
           
 Silent now th
