They hit around midnight
Like hunting some prey
Consigning an evening to our darkest days
The crash of walls crumbling
It felt like a storm
Reviving the lives we had before we were born

I went sideways
I went back
And I looked for clues in every single moment of the past
I'm not trying
To get you off track
I'm not silently declining into black

So don't give me fate
It's said and done
I'm not feeling brave here
When they're tying our tongues
I won't ever change
While blue in blood
Don't stop when the flames fall
In the eyes of our love

They turn on the floodlights
To stamp on our wrists
I'm mouthing Venceremos through splitting lips
Hit forty times over
And dumped in the street
Displayed at the gates to warn off other deceit

I went sideways
I went back
But I fought for truth through every single broken artefact
I'm not trying
To get you off track
But I'm lying if there's nothing I could do about that

And with a heartbeat in my chest
They took all the notes from my hands
But we won't lose sight of what we said
I'll sing from the dirt instead

So don't give me fate
It's said and done
I'm not feeling brave here
When they're tying our tongues
I won't ever change
(Sitting in their sights)
While blue in blood
(Keep us on your mind)
Don't stop when the flames fall
In the eyes of our love

A picture for now
That's cut into three
A terror to drown
Where nobody sees
So don't give me fate
(Sitting in their sights)
It's said and done
(Keep us on your mind)
I'm not feeling brave here
When they're tying our tongues
I won't ever change
(Wouldn't let it show)
While blue in blood
(From another's blow)
Don't stop when the flames fall
In the eyes of our love

I won't ever change
While blue in blood
I won't stop when the flames fall
In the eyes of our love
