The Ramparts

Over the ramparts we watched, the same old tragedy unfold

The same old lessons that we swore, we'd learn before we're old

We let the wrong one in, now we scramble for the light

Poking holes in the curtain of this never-ending night

But I'm here with you, and you're here with me

Is it too late for us

Is it too late for me to lose myself to love

I look but find no guidance from above

As angels fall before their work is done

Under the covers we hid, thinking they'd never find us there

But while I learn to keep my head down, how you long to breathe the air

Still I wait for you, do you wait for me

Is it too late for us

Is it too late for me to lose myself to love

I look but find no guidance from above

As angels fall before their work is done

Over the ramparts we watched, all our towns and cities burn

While the broken men with torches were everywhere we turned

And I looked for you, did you look for me

Is it too late for us

Is it too late for me to lose myself to love

I look but find no guidance from above

As angels fall

Is it too late for us

Is it too late for me to lose myself to love

I look but find no guidance from above

As angels fall before their work is done
