lyrics

There was a war
Now there are bones
As they sit, do they reminisce of the flesh
That hid their form?
That held them warm
As they lay down and wait anyday now to be eroded away?

And what will be missed
Is when our bodies kissed
Our bones learnt something new about their own shape

They say it's just life
They say it's just death
Just say I'm not just

There was a land
And it had
No color or hue to what we went through
And where we would go
Just an army of hope
Before there was light
There was desire to make something whole

And what will we do
When another moon
Has shone and gone and we're still fighting?

They say it's just time
They say it's just sex
Just say I'm not just

There were five minutes
When the armour was lifted
And we saw each other for the first time

They say it's just love
They say it's just money
Just say I'm not just
