An Old Dead Song

It's a quiet stream
It's a beautiful day in hell
I'm walking down your street
As the church bell rings

I see faded smiles
And blood on the track
My city needs colours
But we're dressed in black

Behind opened doors, as the morning comes
They beat this girl for she's been kissing
We keep on walking and try to forget
That they beat this girl for she's been loving

Tell me about your heroes
And the songs that keep you safe
Your eyes are full of sadness
You'll make it through the rain

We stand here today
And for many many years
Time won't heal the pain
Tears stay the same

Tell me, mon and dad. Tell me, all my friends
Will you beat this boy for he's been kissing
It's an old dead song I ain't singing in vain
'Cause they beat this boy of he's been loving
They beat this boy
They beat this boy
They beat this boy for holding hands

I walk at your door
But you're gone for so long
I'll wait by the window
As the morning comes

Behind opened doors, as the morning comes
They beat this girl for she's been kissing
We keep on walking and try to forget
That they beat this girl for she's been loving
They beat this girl
They beat this girl
They beat this girl for holding hands
