v1
do you remember those autumn nights
when mountains of leaves and october breeze would play?
back when the world was cooler, water bluer
long before the fire from the sky came and swept us away...
pc
where were you? we called your name a thousand times
where did you go, and why'd you leave us all behind?
chorus
we're never gonna run away we're gonna stay and fight another day
we're never gonna run away from this mess
we're gonna learn to take the blame for all the bloody shame we caused
through love and hating those who ran away from their mess
we're never ever gonna give up on our chosen play,
we're gonna stick it out and watch the sun break forth slowly
we're never gonna run away we're gonna stay and fight another day
we're never gonna run away
and where were you?
v2
as we wade through the dust of our lives
claiming rubble as treasures of memories gone
we march to the silent, still beat of our hearts
that keep us in unison, carrying on
pc
where are you? did you fight through the fires of judgement to rise again?
where are you, and will you ever return to deliver us?
no.
