lyrics

A fire fought for our control
The flames hid what the sunlight stole
The beauty brought the morning back
And then we forgot what we had

As it leaves the leaves jump off
It sinks in sinks and drowns in rocks
It stares at stairs that go nowhere
Inside it sees the seaside air

And oh, it goes, the shadows show the war is not lost
We fought for something we don’t know.
Oh, it goes, the shadows show the war is not lost
We fought for something we don’t know.

Silver bullets, golden heart
Reminds us that we’re not too far
Oh, Oh

Empty shoes with no direction
Laces up with my confession
I was young, and I was lost
And my own tongue had been my cross

And oh, it goes, the shadows show the war is not lost
We fought for something we don’t know.
Oh, it goes, the shadows show the war is not lost
We fought for something we don’t know.

And oh, it goes, the shadows show the war is not lost
We fought for something we don’t know.
Oh, it goes, the shadows show the war is not lost
We fought for something we don’t know
For something we don’t know.
