Young Lovers Songtext
von City and Colour

Where did we go wrong?
Will there be a future to look back from?
Feels like God is long gone
From the creatures who created him
We could give it all away
This machinery of violence
Still we gather for a feast of praise
To the devouring mouth of war

This is a fire
This is a revelation
Don′t let it burn out
Don't let it fade away
Let′s run all the red lights
Make no promises
Live like young lovers
Who've never known heartache


Between the dark and dawn
Kings are killing people in the streets
Their ghosts are left to walk on
Through the nightmares of these bitter men
Golden towers climb towards the sky
A sparkling palace of sin (Palace of sin)
And still we act so surprised (So surprised)
That we are so hollow (So hollow)

This is a fire
This is a revelation
Don't let it burn out
Don′t let it fade away
Let′s run all the red lights
Make no promises
Live like young lovers
Who've never known heartache, known heartache

Standing on your own
While you struggle to survive
Left you standing all alone
While you struggle to survive

This is a fire
This is a revelation
Don′t let it burn out
Don't let it fade away
Fade away
Fade away
