Death Is the Diamond
[Verse 1]
Blue dawn of night, go on
I've been missin' you now with my whole life
Does my voice echo forward?
Alive, if only for a speck
My actions, all that I possess

[Verse 2]
And if need be, I will carry your death wish, hmm
Back into the arms of this rare life
My back to your back
This has been no easy religion
Written, braided, lived, and tried

[Chorus]
Let the sun go down
I don't want to feel anything but the moving ground
Death is the diamond
Watched you riding horses across the plains
I guess sometimes
It doesn't always happen when you're tryin'
Oh, but when you're livin' it comes on out

[Verse 3]
Sign on Caravan East reads, "For you, anything"
I guess it's a story so much greatеr than our own
Alive, moving through dusk
Alive, if only once
You makе me feel like the prom queen that I never was
[Chorus]
Let the sun go down
I don't want to feel anything but the moving ground
Death is the diamond
Watched you riding horses across the plains
I guess sometimes
It doesn't always happen when you're tryin'
Oh, but when you're livin' it comes on out
