Sirens

I am waiting for the sirens to echo
Try to close my eyes and stay asleep
Now I can't afford to be so reluctant
When we can't afford this life

Look away
Turn away
Walk away
Run

I am waiting for the violent conclusion
Silently we sit, holding hands
What about all the seeds that we had planted?
They won't get their chance to grow

Look away
Turn away
Walk away
Run

Look away
Turn away
Walk away
Run

I am waiting for the violent conclusion
Silently we sit, holding hands

When all shadows are gone
With our eyes open, who remains?

Take my hand, dream of a better land
Nothing between us but the sea
Won't you come now, sail to me?
Take a chance, I'll light the way
Leave the grief in yesterday
Speak the words you've got to say
Your voice is enough to give me strength in love

Will you run away?
Or will you fight and stay?
Reunited, face our fear together
Or will you run away and start again?
Or start again?
