American Theory - Colors Lyrics

It's the calm of the storm
There's a song in the heart
The countermelody is
A mystery to me
Love is dead, hate's alive
And the body is dying on the inside
The lungs are filled to the brim
With the blood of the beautiful
Walls have eyes, fields have ears
They know we live in fear
They see in black and white
Don't walk alone tonight
Suddenly there's singing
Can the choir save us all
There's something about the way we're fighting
And what we're fighting for
Suddenly there's hope
And suddenly there's a chance
There's something about the way
Our words are winning the war on their weapons
I'm taking steps to bind and breaking through the Rhine
Some of us are living
Underground on a railroad
And it's been two-hundred and forty years
Since freedom kissed the country
But it was an affair (Unconventional, unconditional)
Begged the lover for another chance (Aren't we all the same inside?)
"I swear I'll leave humanity in the streets
If you can just keep me in your sheets"
This whole world is not enough (They say it's politics)
Borders porous, build the king's wall (People kneel, act appalled)
Press the pedal, pull the trigger (History, tear it down)
Just tell me what's a better way to love
Than through the barrel of a gun?
Suddenly there's singing
Can the choir save us all
There's something about the way we're fighting
And what we're fighting for
Suddenly there's hope
And suddenly there's a chance
There's something about the way
Our words are winning the war on their weapons
A voice is aimed to fire
To melt the aging heart
The heart of the ugly
Suddenly there's singing
Can the choir save us all
There's something about the way...
Suddenly there's singing
Can the choir save us all
There's something about the way we're fighting
And what we're fighting for
Suddenly there's hope
And suddenly there's a chance
There's something about the way
Our words are winning the war on their weapons
I'm taking steps to bind and breaking through the Rhine
I'm taking steps to bind and breaking through the Rhine
