Standing, on the edge of forever,
At the start of whatever,
Shouting love at the world.
Back then, we were like cavemen,
But we met the moon and the stars
Then we forgave them.
We will meet you where the lights are,
The defenders, of the faith we are.
Where the thunder turns around
They'll run so hard we'll tear the ground away.
You know no one dies
In these love drowned eyes
Through our love drowned eyes
We'll watch you sleep tonight
Although no one understood
We were holding back the flood,
Learning how to dance the rain.
We were holding back the flood
They said we'd never dance again.
Bleeding, but none of us leaving,
Watch your mouth son
Or you'll find yourself floating home.
Here we come now on a dark star
Seeing demons, not what we are.
Tiny minds and eager hands will try to strike,
But now we'll last the day
There's progress now
Where there once was not
Where there once was not
Then everything came along.
Although no one understood,
We were holding back the flood
Learning how to dance the rain.
There was more of them than us
Now they'll never dance again.
Although no one understood
There was more of them than us
Learning how to dance the rain,
We were holding back the flood
They said we'd never dance again.
We will meet you where the lights are,
The defenders of the faith we are.
Where the thunder turns around
They'll run so hard
We'll tear the ground away.
Although no one understood,
There was more of them than us
Learning how to dance the rain.
(learning how to dance the rain)
There was more of them than us
Now they'll never dance again.
Now we'll never dance again.
Oh ahh, Oh ahh, Oh ahh, Oh ahh, Oh aah, Oh ahh, Oh ahh...
