You got what you came for 00:09

Now I think it's time to move on 00:10

(When will you stay?) 00:13

But these ghosts come alive 00:15

Like water and wine 00:17

Walk through these streets 00:18

Singing songs and carrying signs 00:19

Lyrics:

[English]

So look in my eyes

What will you leave behind once you've gone?

(So precious)

You got what you came for

Now I think it's time to move on

(When will you stay?)

But these ghosts come alive

Like water and wine

Walk through these streets

Singing songs and carrying signs

To them these streets belong

My atonement lasts the best part of eternity

Ran out of hands to count the sin

That breeds inside of me

Not this hate but the loneliness

Has left me here into this mess of

My hands are soaking in the blood of angels

On broken wings they collapse

Will I see the break of day?

Dark clouds exploded and torrents of rain fell

All these lost halos wash away

Head hung from shame we bear a weight

That brings me to a crawl

These years of longing tell decades

Of unanswered calls

For a change, 'cause everyday we slip and fall

Kicked while we're down, our fists clench into ball

My hands are soaking in the blood of angels

On broken wings they collapse

Will I see the break of day

Dark clouds exploded and torrents of rain fell

All these lost halos wash away

So look in my eyes

What will you leave behind once you've gone?

(So precious)

You got what you came for

Now I think it's time to move on

(When will you stay?)

But these ghosts come alive

Like water and wine

Walk through these streets

Singing songs and carrying signs

To them these streets belong

So look in my eyes

What will you leave behind once you've gone?

You got what you came for

Now I think it's time to move on

But these ghosts come alive

Like water and wine

Walk through these streets

Singing songs and carrying signs

To them these streets belong
