safe here

later that day we made our way to the old cathedral door

a flame

a figure

a shadow

walked away towards the tower alone

we must be close nearby

hope cannot find our own way

through dark

it's cold

i'm told it's gray

there's a light that never grows dim

but if all can be made right there's still a chance on new years' day

and if grace were here i would love to see her face somehow

someway

and if all is well that means there's still a chance in hell

you are safe here

safe here in these arms of mine

there is shelter

shelter from the mire of life

claiming sanctuary from the fire that drove you in

you are safe here

safe here in these arms of mine

climbing the stairs towards heaven

making our own way into the room

empty

barren

not another soul in sight

then when the moon came crawling

there in the night

a great divide

a whisper

a motion

calling

we're the 99 all right

but if all can be made right there's still a chance on new years' day

and if all is well that means there's still a chance in hell

you are safe here

safe here in these arms of mine

there is shelter

shelter from the mire of life

claiming sanctuary from the fire that drove you in

you are safe here

safe here in these arms of mine

now a tradition said

buying penance did a wrong and right

a great collapse

great collapse

you are safe here

safe here in these arms of mine

there is shelter

shelter from the mire of life

claiming sanctuary from the fire that drove you in

you are safe here

safe here in these arms of mine
