Lyrics
Silence waits for us,
Midnight forms with dusk.
And we’re not smiling any longer,
Can you feel it in the air?
Any time we’ve left to wonder,
They were there.
Run and leave this place,
Take my hand we’ll wait,
For when the fire meets the water,
When the voices start to call.
Is it time that we surrender to it all?
And we’re not needed any longer,
We are poisoning the air.
Any time we went to love her,
They were there.
Is it time to face the water?
Is it time to seize the day?
Can you meet me at the border,
Come what may?
Where do children run?
When does daylight come?
When the fire meets the water,
When the ice it starts to thaw,
Every part of Mother Nature takes the fall.
And we’re not needed any longer,
We are poisoning the air.
Any time we went to love her,
They were there.
Is it time to face the water?
Is it time to seize the day?
Can you meet me at the border,
Come what may?
