I see the lines in the palm of its hand now   I listen hard but no words spring to mind   And it sounds so sweet, listen to its heartbeat   And I'm drowning in its sea   Falling at its feet   Listen to my heartbeat baby      And the blood sail leaves tonight   Fated in its blindness   And it won't be long before help is at hand   And the darkness sleeps   Cushioning the heartbeat   And I killed the captain, sank the fleet   To liberate the heartbeat baby   And it sounds so sweet   And it sounds so sweet    Listen to our hearts beat      And the darkness sleeps   Cushioning the heartbeat   And I'm drowning in its sea   Falling at its feet   Listen to my heartbeat baby      It speaks to ghosts and souls alike   Springs to life, and doesn't think twice   Wrapped in the blood sail   Bathed in snow   Nailed to the source and it won't let go   Fed on the bible, grown from trees   It opened the mind and the heart was free   A home in the silence, safe from sound   Where trouble sleeps and the light is found
