lyrics

The chosen goes alone
Made of heaven and blood and bone
No one would want this but fate doesn’t ask
Whoever longed for a lonely path

Oh how it burned the night you knew
The finger of the gods put the mark on you
Look to the sky to find what’s true
Did they put the light or the dark in you

Rode the north wind to the west
Followed your map to its gilded edge
And no compass will say
The difference between grey and grey

Oh how it burned the night you knew
The finger of the gods put the mark on you
Look to the sky to find what’s true
Did they put the light or the dark in
Dark in you

Once you feel the blade of providence
At your neck
You can’t forget

From a cinder to a spark
Whispered answer from the stars

Oh how it burned the night you knew
The finger of the gods put the mark on you
Look to the sky to find what’s true
Did they put the light or the dark in
Dark in you

The songs are deceptively serene, layering Youngs’ infectious pop sensibilities atop lush, dreamy arrangements that often belie the swift emotional currents lurking underneath. ... more
