8000 Years

8000 years you were by my side Now I see you turn into light But do they notice 8000 years weren't enough to know you Bathed your gold in red white and blue But do they notice No, I never asked you for this separation No, I never asked you for reparation Lay your head down Ears to the ground Say that you know I know you know Lay your head down Ears to the ground Say that you know I know you Tell me that we can maybe understand Tell me that we can maybe try again The spire fell down to the ground Blood rushed and made no sound Do you ever see me Breathe the smoke right into my lungs When Aleppo falls I try to run Will you ever see me Tell me that we can maybe understand I know all the secrets you know But I can't seem to let you go Tell me that we can maybe try again I know all the secrets you know I know Tell me that we can maybe understand I know all the secrets you know But I can't seem to let you go Tell me that we can maybe try again I know all the secrets you know I know Tell me that we can maybe understand I know all the secrets you know But I can't seem to let you go
