Lyrics
Forbidden colours
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.
The wounds on your hand never seem to heal
I thought all I needed was to believe
Here am I, a lifetime away from you?
The blood of christ or the beat of my heart
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes
Senseless years thunder by
Millions are willing to give their lives for you
Does nothing live on?
Learning to cope with feelings aroused in me
My hands in the soil, buried inside myself
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again
I'll go walking in circles
While doubting the very ground beneath me
Trying to show unquestioning faith in everything
Here am I, a lifetime away from you?
The blood of christ, or a change of heart
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again
