That autumn rose with blood in its veins. And coloured in our blankest year again. You shivered in the front seat as each word clouded the glass. We felt the watch of winter; its hands upon our shoulders again.
I will not stand here to watch it back. I marked the beach we stood upon. Scarlet on the atlas.
And as the peals of laughter climbed. Through freshest air to boundless skies. We marked a cross upon the sand, claimed this kingdom as ours. Sent up a flare. Let the heavens remember us.
I will not stand here and watch it back. I marked the beach we stood upon. Scarlet on the atlas.
Armed with an atlas and an anger. We’ll search the lands we could have changed. Alone, as all of this it passes. We’ll search the lands we could have changed.
