Lyrics[]
When you take me
A shadow festers on your soul
I don’t go clean
And then harden in the sun
In the dreamtime
Follow the sunlight across the globe
Catch the wave now
Through the rhythm of it all
When you’re older
You’ll be thankful for our death
Sense the spirit
Blowing onward on and on
Open the pain
Return the gift of your deed
Dream a story
To the heroes without hate
