Lyrics Fleet Foxes – Cassius, –

Under the water
Rain

Past my window, out in the street
Life makes short work of all I see

Song of masses, passing outside
All inciting the fifth of July
When guns for hire open fire
Blind against the dawn
When the knights in iron took the pawn
You and I, out into the night
Held within the line that they have drawn

Above the surface

As I went they’re all beside us in silence
As if unaffected amid the violence
Ooh, are we also tamed?
I was in a river, as if in water
Wife, a son, a son, a son and a daughter
Ooh, are we also tamed?

Under the water again

I walked home, no words to say
Cassius, one month gone on his way
And who will lead us
And who remains to die?
By a thread, drop my head to cry

Above the surface

As I went they’re all beside us in silence
As if unaffected amid the violence

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

At sea, in a storm
