The Absence of Colour by Handful of Snowdrops Lyrics
Nothing ever flames out
Or ever lives to tell the tale
But of holes so vain
And faith left crippled
Skin like time torn open
Living scars beyond the pale
How swift, how far?
We're proud but brittle
And as the moon clicks over the sun
It’s the end of the world
Somewhere for someone
We are the absence of colour
Lighting the world on fire
There's no hope or turning back
Let's end it now
And fade to black
We left our sons and daughters
Stranded on a path of fire
No belief is worth a fact
Just end me now
And fade this world to black
No Gravity will bind us
Within the shells we call by name
Black shirt, black ties
And dressed for funerals
Our days are overworn
Let’s all meet up at the stake
There will no redemption
No dress rehearsal
Or ever lives to tell the tale
But of holes so vain
And faith left crippled
Skin like time torn open
Living scars beyond the pale
How swift, how far?
We're proud but brittle
And as the moon clicks over the sun
It’s the end of the world
Somewhere for someone
We are the absence of colour
Lighting the world on fire
There's no hope or turning back
Let's end it now
And fade to black
We left our sons and daughters
Stranded on a path of fire
No belief is worth a fact
Just end me now
And fade this world to black
No Gravity will bind us
Within the shells we call by name
Black shirt, black ties
And dressed for funerals
Our days are overworn
Let’s all meet up at the stake
There will no redemption
No dress rehearsal
