Snow Patrol - Fallen Empires
You called my name in the dark
Called me back to the start
The condensation is building tension
A stubborn silence is formed
Around our bodies, it's warm
The cool wet grasses as summer passes
Frightened under attack
Fallen flat on my back
Arms and legs, I'm too scared to beg
You haunt me most when it's light
The thought of you don't sit right
I need the darkness a death grip embrace
Raising cities to dust
Faces dripping in lust
Fallen empires and raging bush fires
All your words confounded
Secret lives bound and hid
Living backwards in tangled back woods
You ruined everything right
So good I can't see the light
From my cave I can see the wave
Fallen empires and raging bush fires
Ooooh…
We are the light...
We are the light...(Run to the fire)
End
