8000 years

8000 years you were by my side
Now I see you turn into light
But do they notice
8000 years weren't enough to know you
Bathed your gold in red white and blue
But do they notice
No, I never asked you for this separation
No, I never asked you for reparation
Lay your head down
Ears to the ground
Say that you know
I know you know
Lay your head down
Ears to the ground
Say that you know
I know you
Tell me that we can maybe understand
Tell me that we can maybe try again
The spire fell down to the ground
Blood rushed and made no sound
Do you ever see me
Breathe the smoke right into my lungs
When Aleppo falls I try to run
Will you ever see me
Tell me that we can maybe understand
I know all the secrets you know
But I can't seem to let you go
Tell me that we can maybe try again
I know all the secrets you know
I know
Tell me that we can maybe understand
I know all the secrets you know
But I can't seem to let you go
Tell me that we can maybe try again
I know all the secrets you know
I know
Tell me that we can maybe understand
I know all the secrets you know
But I can't seem to let you go
