Lyrics
Young Lovers
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Where did we go wrong?
Will there be a future to look back from?
Feels like God is long gone
From the creatures who created him
We could give it all away
This machinery of violence
Still we gather for a feast of praise
To the devouring mouth of war
This is a fire
This is a revelation
Don't let it burn out
Don't let it fade away
Let's run all the red lights
Make no promises
Live like young lovers
Who've never known heartache
Between the dark and dawn
Kings are killing people in the streets
Their ghosts are left to walk on
Through the nightmares of these bitter men
Golden towers climb towards the sky
A sparkling palace of sin
And still we act so surprised
That we are so hollow
This is a fire
This is a revelation
Don't let it burn out
Don't let it fade away
Let's run all the red lights
Make no promises
Live like young lovers
Who've never known heartache
Standing on your own
While you struggle to survive
Left you standing all alone
While you struggle to survive
This is a fire
This is a revelation
Don't let it burn out
Don't let it fade away
