Is there a fire in the sky
Is there a moon up there
Is anything alive now
This darkness is what I hear
This is a breathless silence
A moment out of time
I see your face in the shadows
The tell-tale signs are in your eyes
More than I can hold in my hand
Running through the gaps like water
Aching with a passion inside
Deep as the river
All desire
The ashes and the fire
Turning this night inside
And the light from you
Is there a flame in the dark
is there a bright heart star
These creatures look the same now
We freeze wherever we are
We wake alone in the blackness
We sleep whenever we fall
One dream all around us This big hush infects us all
Holding up an animal fear
Soaking up the waves underwater
Tuned to music no-one can hear
Forever in this half-light
All desire
The ashes and the fire
Turning this night inside
And the light from you
All desire
The ashes and the fire
Turning this night inside
And the light from you
More than I can hold in my hand
Running through the gaps like water
Aching with a passion inside
Deep as the river
All desire
The ashes and the fire
Turning this night inside
And the light from you
All desire
The ashes and the fire
Turning this night inside
Turning this night inside
Turning this night inside
And the light from you
Is there a fire in the sky
Is there a moon up there
Is anything alive now
This darkness is what I hear
This is a breathless silence
A moment out of time
I see your face in the shadows
The tell-tale signs are in your eyes
More than I can hold in my hand
Running through the gaps like water
Aching with a passion inside
Deep as the river
All desire
The ashes and the fire
Turning this night inside
And the light from you
Is there a flame in the dark
Is there a bright heart star
These creatures look the same now
We freeze wherever we are
We wake alone in the blackness
We sleep whenever we fall
One dream all around us
This big hush infects us all
Holding up an animal fear
Soaking up the waves underwater
Tuned to music no-one can hear
Forever in this half-light
All desire
The ashes and the fire
Turning this night inside
And the light from you
All desire
The ashes and the fire
Turning this night inside
And the light from you
More than I can hold in my hand
Running through the gaps like water
Aching with a passion inside
Deep as the river
All desire
The ashes and the fire
Turning this night inside
And the light from you
All desire
The ashes and the fire
Turning this night inside
Turning this night inside
Turning this night inside
And the light from you
I have always loved the way they mixed these vocals.
His deep, smooth voice, and then the girls coming in under him with that high pitched, just slightly out of tune harmony.
Then they come in again, lower, with a perfect fucking harmony.
Just a beautiful vocal arrangement.
Love this song.
Really this whole album is full of awesomeness like this.
I've literally been thinking about this song for like a year, I barely remembered the tunes and none of the words, I just knew I really liked it when I heard but for the life of me I couldn't place it..! Argh, then just the other day out of nowhere it strikes me, "IT'S FROM MANHUNTER! IS IT FROM MANHUNTER? OMG OMG OMG!"
And yes, it's from Manhunter. Phew. I can now go on with my life. xD
Nice to know its not just me that lives in this I have it on my mobile my You Tube and everything else I even have it in my last wishes as I am being taken to be cremated this will be played once heard forever loved
IMHO, the best, most haunting, and most unique love song ever made. A masterpiece which cannot be worn out, and OIL & GOLD is the album which surrounds it with many other great tracks, both genre-defying and genre-defining.
