Will's Song (Let the Colours Run) Lyrics


Find me

I could chase the very sun

There could be something left, a little piece of me

Find me

Out there, cast against the waves

Your seven days of peace, and nothing left of me

Find me

Drown

Face down in the water that's meant for me

Soon

One more

Isn't this everything that you asked for?

Drown

No love for the living and empty lungs

Soon

Sing dead sons

It's lights out, give them something to live for

You best run home boy

Before you wear the weight

You can run your mouth at every light

That marks the way...

You best run far boy

With these old bones

I could fill your lungs with the last of my breath

So boy, you best run far

I am the flame that lit the way

You feed and grow by my will

And time breeds only decay?

Oh please, I am that young man still.

Let the colours run,

Lights out, give them something to live for

Breathe while the waves rise,

Fill my lungs, the sacred water

Down, ever down, dive

Will the weight to drag me under

What I still needed to lead me, to save me

Could have been someone, to the wind, soon

Feed it, it's fading to nothing, to ashes,

Feed the beast! Never! To the wind!

Feel it, it could be another triumph

Giving in, over to the wind, soon

Bring me the poison, to lead me, to save me

Like a child, take me to the wind

You best run home boy

Before you wear the weight

You can run your mouth at every light

That marks the way...

You best run far boy

With these old bones

I could fill your lungs with the last of my breath

So boy, you best run far

I am the flame that lit the way

You feed and grow by my will

And time breeds only decay?

Oh please, I am that young man still

Let the colours run

Lights out, give them something to live for.
