Lyrics
Walking away, she said it's not too late. Hope's gone, it's gone, no regard for lace. After the reigns separate our aims, relinquishing our claims, she's gone. Our lips part without trace. Two hearts beat in a coma. The sunlight, melanoma. The bombs don't even know our names. Run, walk away. You're safer on the train. You know that you can't stay. Declare our love today. Your sleep will turn to dreams. You may envision me. As long as you're asleep, don't worry about me. Wake up! The shrapnel sets to flame. I'm calling out your name. The smoke, like blackness, stains. A young girls voice will strain. She cries out, reaching to her dad. I can see something in her hands. It’s a set of unfair demands and sanctions on her land. Eighteen years old and it’s a story now untold. To be lovers, just to touch your skin again. I feel my skin growing colder. I'm going to call your name over and over. The bombs still don't know our names. We can smell the rain. She can smell the rain. The tides, they turn. The war machine burns with contempt and hate. With smoke in her eyes, will she hear my cries? Can we live past the lies and escape in disguise? I had never loved. This war is for nothing, but our love is everything. This worship will turn our efforts to lusting. Who are we to decide who lives and dies?
