Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Standing on the edge of forever

At the start of whatever

Shouting love at the world

[Verse 2]

Back then we were like cavemen

But we mapped the moon and the stars

Then we forgave them

[Verse 3]

We will meet you where the lights are

The defenders of the faith we are

When the thunder turns around

They'll run so hard, we'll tear the ground away

[PreChorus]

You know no one dies

In these love drowned eyes

Through our love drowned eyes

We'll watch you sleep tonight

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 4]

Bleeding but none of us leaving

Watch your mouth, son

Or you'll find yourself floating home

[Verse 5]

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 will end today

[PreChorus]

There's progress now

Where there once was none

Where there once was none

Then everything came along

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[PreChorus]

We will meet you where the lights are

The defenders of the faith we are

When the thunder turns around

They'll run so hard, we'll tear the ground away

[Chorus]

Although no one understood

There was more of them than us

Learning how to dance the rain

There was more of them than us

Now they'll never dance again

[Outro]

Now we'll never dance again
