The Color of the Sky Songtext
von Thrice

My first and foremost memory
Was staring up and wonder at the wall
It circumscribed a city
It said beyond it "Nothing dwells at all"
But I came to wonder if the stories all were true
So one night I made my mind up
I resolved that I would find the passage through

And as I made my plans
I had it spinning swiftly danced between the white
While the roads were all dead end
Or with no word to name the color of the sky
And why did these tunnels lead me deep beneath the streets?
Whеn I was through I′d live my land
Something soft and green and damned bеneath my feet


And I don't know the way
But I know that I belong out here
On this journey that I never thought I′d make
Setting out
Across a new frontier
A new horizon with each eager step I take

As the stars begin to fade
I stride to meet the breaking day and breathe it in
It rakes over my tongues
So crisp and cool inside my lungs, against my skin
And I see the colors burst and bloom beneath the dawn
The brilliance overwhelms me
Makes me wonder wondering what world I'm even on

And I don't know the way
But I know that I belong out here
On this journey that I never thought I′d make
Setting out
Across a new frontier
A new horizon with each eager step I take

And I don′t know the way
But I know that I belong out here
On this journey that I never thought I'd make
Setting out
Across a new frontier
A new horizon with each eager step I take
