lyrics

There's been sad old times just me myself and I been going nowhere Moonbeam you stole me from the dark I ain't done much good I ain't been bad I just been going nowhere Come inside I'll protect you from the dark Now I'm on my knees so I can pray that you'll stay for ever You got me on my knees I'm begging you I'm begging please Goodbye sad old times with me myself and I just going nowhere Sunrise, you stole me from the dark Now the only pain I know is never knowing if we're somewhere You can shine, I'll hide you from the dark Now I'm on my knees and I pray you want this day for ever You got me on my knees and I'm begging you don't ever leave This eruption's so immense I can't control myself I need you I'll confess this one offence Cos it's just sinful how I want you Don't wait Let's detonate Investigate how much I love you We'll explode into the unknown I'll take you there I'm down on my knees so I can pray that you'll stay for ever You got me on my knees and I'm begging you don't ever leave I'm on my knees and I pray you want this day for ever You got me on my knees I'm begging you I'm begging please

Sinners From Saints - The Lantern Parade 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Raw as we are, we hide Falling backwards with this indecisive tide Darkness keeps me tender it doesn't keep me sane Barely grasping our Sinners from Saints You don't live for love like I do You live for you so live for ….. Wish I could live for me too So don't live for me too We met you had a lot on your plate Kept dropping mine, thought yours would break me down Clumsy fingers, constructive thoughts Destructive demons and you of course, of course Darling, your slender fear keeps you that way These walls keep you warm, don't keep you sane Barely grasping Darkness keeps me tender yet drives me insane Now I'm barely grasping our Sinners from Saints Break me down again

The Man That Murdered Love - The Lantern Parade 03:25
lyrics

I did the crime Now I done my time But I can't bring back sweet Caroline And I'll be known for the rest of my life As the man who murdered Love. Caroline, sweet Caroline, When I last saw her she'd become divine The Devil took my hands and then he took her life On the night I murdered Love What can I say? I ain't in prison but I’m still in chains What do you know?You don't know nothing Til you got no soul And no-one ever gonna want to know The man that murdered Love I got some smokes from a man who tokes He don't know me like the others know He tells me stories I already know About the time he murdered Love Joanie Jo, sweet Joanie Jo When he last saw her she was shooting dope The Devil cooked it up and then he watched her choke On the night he murdered Love What can I say? I ain't in prison but I’m still in chains What do you know? The chains ain't ever gonna go away, no no What can I say? The Devil took my soul and then he walked away yeah yeah What do you know? You don't know nothing Til you got no soul And no-one ever gonna want to know The man .... no no no You don't know nothing Til you got no soul You ain't nobody til the Devil says so And no-one ever gonna want to know The man that murdered Love

Greater Love - The Lantern Parade 05:48
lyrics

I can see you I know why you're here Is it too late, too late? Don't move yet, disappear I know you, I know you I've grown inside your life I can show you, I'll show you That if you die then I die too I'm not here to stop you Nothing now can make you stay Put your fear in my hands Now it's unmistakably too late Heaven's waiting Anticipating Unexpected conclusion Worldly transfusions You could take my hand We could jump into the Blue I could comfort you in flight I could do what Angels do I'll hold you, I'll hold you Take my last breath with you Merging together Love you forever I'm not scared of nothing I can't let you do this alone When you break into pieces I'll wrap myself around your bones Take a breath and hold me tight As we step into the sky Now we're flying, we're flying Look up there's the Milky Way I'm with you I'm with you Give my last heartbeat to you There is the lighthouse Fly to the lighthouse Gotta get to the lighthouse Fly to the lighthouse Fly into the lighthouse Wow, we're in the lighthouse Fly

about

The Lantern Parade image

The Lantern Parade Southampton, UK

Feeling like they needed a little more light in their lives, The Lantern Parade formed in 2017, a disparate bunch, determined to deliver the goods.

Tales of love, loss, sinners and saints are beautifully told, moving seamlessly between varying musical styles - from alternative pop to raucous blues and back to a sweeping ballad ending with the whole band singing in unison. ... more
