Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When we first came here

We were cold and we were clear

With no colours on our skin

We were light and paper thin

[Verse 2]

And when we first came here

We were cold and we were clear

With no colours on our skin

Till we let the spectrum in

[PreChorus]

Say my name

And every colour illuminates

We are shining

And we'll never be afraid again

[Chorus]

Say my name

As every colour illuminates

We are shining

And we'll never be afraid again

[Chorus]

Say my name

And every colour illuminates

We are shining

And we'll never be afraid again

[Verse 3]

And when we come for you

We'll be dressed up all in blue

With the ocean in our arms

Kiss your eyes and kiss your palms

[Verse 4]

And when it's time to pray

We'll be dressed up all in grey

With metal on our tongues

And silver in our lungs

[PreChorus]

Say my name

And every colour illuminates

We are shining

And we'll never be afraid again

[Chorus]

Say my name

As every colour illuminates

We are shining

And we'll never be afraid again

[Chorus]

Say my name

As every colour illuminates

We are shining

And we'll never be afraid again

[Bridge]

And when we come back we'll be dressed in black

And you'll scream our names aloud

And we won't eat and we won't sleep

We'll drag bodies from the ground

[PreChorus]

So say my name

And every colour illuminates

And we are shining

And we'll never be afraid again

Say my name

As every colour illuminates

[Chorus]

Say my name

As every colour illuminates

We are shining

And we'll never be afraid again

[Chorus]

Say my name

As every colour illuminates

We are shining

And we'll never be afraid again

[Outro]

Say my name

We are shining

Say my name

Say my name

And we'll never be afraid again
