Northern Star (Live at Big Day Out) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And I cry and no one can hear, inhale
The blinded eyes that see the chaos
Bring the pitiful to me
Even though I'm wide-awake, I will
And blackest night and I wait for you
It's cold in here, there's no one left
And I wait for you
And nothing stops it happening
And I knew, I'd cherish all my misery alone
[Chorus]
And I wait, staring at the Northern Star
I'm afraid it won't lead you anywhere
He's so cold, he will rule the world tonight
All the angels kneel into the Northern Lights
Kneel into the frozen lights
[Verse 2]
And they paid, I cry and cried for you
Ghosts that haunt you with thеir sorrow
I cried 'cause you werе doomed
Praying to the wound that swallows
All that's cold and cruel
Can you see the trees, charity and gratitude
They run to the pines
It's black in here, blot out the sun
And run to the pines
Our misery runs wild and free
And baby, I knew, the fire and the ashes of his grace
And I cry and no one can hear, inhale
The blinded eyes that see the chaos
Bring the pitiful to me
Even though I'm wide-awake, I will
And blackest night and I wait for you
It's cold in here, there's no one left
And I wait for you
And nothing stops it happening
And I knew, I'd cherish all my misery alone
[Chorus]
And I wait, staring at the Northern Star
I'm afraid it won't lead you anywhere
He's so cold, he will rule the world tonight
All the angels kneel into the Northern Lights
Kneel into the frozen lights
[Verse 2]
And they paid, I cry and cried for you
Ghosts that haunt you with thеir sorrow
I cried 'cause you werе doomed
Praying to the wound that swallows
All that's cold and cruel
Can you see the trees, charity and gratitude
They run to the pines
It's black in here, blot out the sun
And run to the pines
Our misery runs wild and free
And baby, I knew, the fire and the ashes of his grace
[Chorus]
And I wait, glaring at the Northern Star
I'm afraid it won't lead us anywhere
He's so cold, he will rule the world tonight
All the angels kneel into the frozen lights
Kneel into the frozen lights
[Verse 3]
Hey, we are terrified
We are naked, we are wall-eyed
We have all of us, all died
I will see you, I will see you
I will see you on the other side
[Bridge]
And I want you
And blessed are the broken
And I beg you
No loneliness, no misery is worth you
No, tear his heart out, cold as ice
It's mine
[Chorus]
And I wait, praying to the Northern Star
I'm afraid it won't lead me anywhere
He's so cold, raining on the world tonight
All the angels kneeling to the Northern Lights
And I pray, begging to the Northern Star
I'm afraid it won't lead you anywhere
He's so cold, he will rule the world tonight
All the angels kneeling to the Northern Lights
Kneeling to the frozen lights
You feel their hearts, they're cold as ice
And I wait, glaring at the Northern Star
I'm afraid it won't lead us anywhere
He's so cold, he will rule the world tonight
All the angels kneel into the frozen lights
Kneel into the frozen lights
[Verse 3]
Hey, we are terrified
We are naked, we are wall-eyed
We have all of us, all died
I will see you, I will see you
I will see you on the other side
[Bridge]
And I want you
And blessed are the broken
And I beg you
No loneliness, no misery is worth you
No, tear his heart out, cold as ice
It's mine
[Chorus]
And I wait, praying to the Northern Star
I'm afraid it won't lead me anywhere
He's so cold, raining on the world tonight
All the angels kneeling to the Northern Lights
And I pray, begging to the Northern Star
I'm afraid it won't lead you anywhere
He's so cold, he will rule the world tonight
All the angels kneeling to the Northern Lights
Kneeling to the frozen lights
You feel their hearts, they're cold as ice
