lyrics

we could be immortal
we could live forever
we could do whatever
we could live forever

there’s an army coming straight towards us
we don’t know what’s coming
we just go on living
we could live forever like this
never knowing until we’re hit

there’s a man trapped in a cage
going through the motions
crossing all the oceans
he could live forever like this
never knowing this man is him

and your friends are trapped in a cage
they don’t know what happened
and you tried to warn them
but they just wouldn’t listen
I just didn’t listen

and I can’t put this all back together
and I can’t work through the stormy weather
but I won’t sleep til the work is done
and I won’t reach you but I’ll run and run
and I will run and run
til revelation comes
and I will run and run

we could be immortal
we could live forever
we could do whatever
we could live forever

there’s an army coming straight towards us
we don’t know what’s coming
we just go on living
we could live forever like this
never knowing until it hits

(and I will run and run
and I will run and run)
