Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for (woah) 00:56

Been searching in the dark, your sweat soaking through the floor (woah) 01:00

And buried in your bones there's an ache that you can't ignore 01:08

Taking your breath, stealing your mind 01:12

And all that was real is left behind 01:14

Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya 01:18

It's only this moment, don't care what comes after 01:21

Your fever dream, can't you see it getting closer 01:24

Just surrender 'cause you feel the feeling taking over 01:27

It's fire, it's freedom, it's flooding open 01:31

It's a preacher in the pulpit and you'll find devotion 01:34

There's something breaking at the brick of every wall 01:37

It's holding all that you know, so tell me do you wanna go? 01:39

Where it's covered in all the colored lights 01:42

Where the runaways are running the night 01:47

Impossible comes true, it's taking over you 01:49

Oh, this is the greatest show 01:53

We light it up, we won't come down 01:55

And the sun can't stop us now 01:59

Watching it come true, it's taking over you 02:02

Oh, this is the greatest show 02:05

(Woah), Colossal we come these renegades in the ring 02:08

(Woah), Where the lost get found in the crown of the circus king 02:15

Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya 02:21

It's only this moment, don't care what comes after 02:24

It's blinding, outshining anything that you know 02:27

Just surrender 'cause you're calling and you wanna go 02:30

Where it's covered in all the colored lights 02:34

Where the runaways are running the night 02:37

Impossible comes true, intoxicating you 02:40

Woah

Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for (woah)

Been searching in the dark, your sweat soaking through the floor (woah)

And buried in your bones there's an ache that you can't ignore

Taking your breath, stealing your mind

And all that was real is left behind

Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya

It's only this moment, don't care what comes after

Your fever dream, can't you see it getting closer

Just surrender 'cause you feel the feeling taking over

It's fire, it's freedom, it's flooding open

It's a preacher in the pulpit and you'll find devotion

There's something breaking at the brick of every wall

It's holding all that you know, so tell me do you wanna go?

Where it's covered in all the colored lights

Where the runaways are running the night

Impossible comes true, it's taking over you

Oh, this is the greatest show

We light it up, we won't come down

And the sun can't stop us now

Watching it come true, it's taking over you

Oh, this is the greatest show

(Woah), Colossal we come these renegades in the ring

(Woah), Where the lost get found in the crown of the circus king

Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya

It's only this moment, don't care what comes after

It's blinding, outshining anything that you know

Just surrender 'cause you're calling and you wanna go

Where it's covered in all the colored lights

Where the runaways are running the night

Impossible comes true, intoxicating you

Oh, this is the greatest show

We light it up, we won't come down

And the sun can't stop us now

Watching it come true, it's taking over you

Oh, this is the greatest show

It's everything you ever want

It's everything you ever need

And it's here right in front of you

This is where you wanna be (This is where you wanna be)

It's everything you ever want

It's everything you ever need

And it's here right in front of you

This is where you wanna be

When it's covered in all the colored lights

Where the runaways are runnin' the night

Impossible comes true, it's taking over you

Oh, this is the greatest show

We light it up, we won't come down

And the sun can't stop us now

Watching it come true, it's taking over you

This is the greatest show

Impossible comes true, it's taking over you

Oh, this is the greatest show

We light it up, we won't come down

And the walls can't stop us now

I'm watching it come true, it's taking over you
