Higher Ground Songtext
von Jonas Carping

We′re coming alive here tonight
Old memories shine a searchlight
All that glitters might still be gold
The darkness, it hides a certain glow
You're afraid and I don′t want to know
Get your guns and load 'em as we go

Conclusions falling
For whatever might find us down the line

We might be beggars but we can still choose
Whatever might find us down the line
Those words are useless things that shine

It's a pitch dark night but we come in peace
Don′t hold on too strong to your guarantees
And you hear those words unspoken
In all those places that we never went
It′s like the eeriness of a war
Far away but still close enough to scar

Conclusions falling
For whatever might find us down the line


We might be beggars but we can still choose
Whatever might find us down the road

Did you see them follow you here tonight?
Them doubts and speculations of this life
The poet in the gutter cries out his broken words
They hold more truth than I have ever heard
You're afraid and I don′t want to know
The curtain falls, then let it be so

Conclusions falling
For whatever might find us down the line

We might be beggars but we can still choose
Conclusions fading
For whatever might find us down the road

Fairy tales are written on this muddy ground
Rebelling eyes from the one that you adore
We can glitter in the gutter, man
And all the frost won't bite
So we ain′t got no gold
Our pockets are filled with dynamite
There's always more to the picture than meets the eye
