Lyrics:

This track is off Arcade Fire’s 2007 album Neon Bible. The song is told from the first-person perspective, about someone whose decisions have led them to ruin, and how they end up with malice because of it.
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! (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! (Was shining back)

If I seem lost, well, I weighed the cost
And chose my crime--
Now it's mine, all mine!

I heard 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!' (What you fear)

Resurrected, living in a lighthouse,
If you leave, them ships are going to wreck
Resurrected, living in a lighthouse,
The lions and the lambs ain’t sleeping yet
Resurrected, living in a lighthouse,
Can you see the funny side? The ships are going to wreck
Resurrected, living in a lighthouse,
The lions and the lambs ain't sleeping yet
The lions and the lambs ain’t sleeping yet
The lions and the lambs ain’t sleeping yet

(Sleeping yet)
(Sleeping yet)
(Sleeping yet)
