Verse 2:
While we pay for mistakes with no meaning
All your gifts and all your peace is deceiving
And still our pain dissolves with believing

Chorus 2:
That peace comes, their peace comes
That peace comes, their peace comes

Verse 3:
Now that our bones lay buried below us
Just like stones pressed into the earth
Well, we ain't known by no one before us
And we begin with this one little birth

Chorus 3:
That grows on, that grows on, 
that grows on, that moves on

Verse 4:
Crippled crow, say something for grieving
Where do we go once we start leaving?
Well, close that wound, or else keep on bleeding
And change your tune, it's got no meaning
