Arcade Fire lyrics - The Well & the Lighthouse

album: Neon Bible (2007)
genre:

I'm serving time 
all for a crime I did commit. 
You want the truth? 
You know I'd do it all again. 
Left for dead, 
heaven is only in my head! 

I heard a voice 
calling from down inside a well. 
"See that silver shine?" 
she said to come claim what was mine. 
So down I fell, 
down into the water black. 
My prison cell, 
only the moon was shining back! 

If I seem lost, well I weighted the cost 
and chose my crime- 
now it's mine all mine! 

I hear the voice 
calling from just outside the well. 
She said, "You fool, now that you know your end is 
near; 
you always fall 
for what you desire 
or what you fear!" 

Resurrected 
living in a lighthouse, 
If you leave 
them ships are gonna wreck. 
Resurrected 
living in a lighthouse, 
The lions and the lambs ain't sleeping yet.
