  • You called my name in the dark, called me back to the start
    The condensation is building tension
    Stubborn silence is formed, around our bodies it's warm
    The cool wet grasses as summer passes
    Frightened under attack, fallen flat on my back
    Arms and legs, I'm too scared to beg
    Harm me most when it's light, thought of you don't sit right
    I need the darkness a desperate embrace

    Razing cities to dust, faces dripping in lust
    Fallen empires and raging bush fires
    All your words unfounded, secret lives bound in bed
    Living backwards and tangled back words
    Ruined everything right, so good can't see the light
    From my cave I can see the wave, fallen empires and raging bush fires

    We are the light, we are the light,
    We are the light, we are the light
    We are the light, we are the light,
    We are the light, we are the light
    We are the light, we are the light,
    We are the light, we are the light,
    We are the light, we are the light,
    We are the light, we are the light,
    We are the light, we are the light,
    We are the light, we are the light,
    We are the light, we are the light,
    We are the light, we are the light,
    We are the light, we are the light,
    We are the light, we are the light,
    We are the light, we are the light,
    We are the light, we are the light,

    We are the light, we are the light (run to the fire)
    We are the light, we are the light (run to the fire)
    We are the light, we are the light (run to the fire)
    We are the light, we are the light (run to the fire)
    We are the light, we are the light (run to the fire)
    We are the light, we are the light (run to the fire)
    We are the light, we are the light (run to the fire)
    We are the light, we are the light (run to the fire) Writer/s: GARRET JACKNIFE LEE, GARY LIGHTBODY, JONATHAN GRAHAM QUINN, NATHAN CONNOLLY, PAUL WILSON, TOM SIMPSON
