"Giving Ground" lyrics - THE SISTERS OF MERCY

In the place through which we wander
Reason is turned around
And every fool who scuttles up
Will see his madness drowned
And every truth is swallowed up
By gently Giving Ground

[Chorus:]
What you have lost can never be found
Words are just dust in deserts of sound
Everything is lost and your trust lies broken
And the truth is drowned

I watch as you surrender
To silence-loving screams
And now I know you will not see
The madness we have seen
And now I know you can not be
All that your flight has been

[Chorus]

I stood but you just could not wait

These lines are driven straight
Through the circles of your hate

And 'cos I know you can not be
All that your flight has been

What you have lost can never be found
Words are just dust in deserts of sound
Everything is lost and the truth is drowned

Everything is lost in the giving ground
Everything is lost
Everything is lost in the giving ground
In the giving ground

[Whispers:]
Everything is lost

In the giving ground
