With the summer sun setting on the runaways
they try to reach for any moment as it's fading away
Skies burn with kerosene and
night's brighter than the days been
And he's looking for a feeling only she can make
but he would rather see her leave than have to watch her soul break
He's looked to find a reason
with so little to believe in
Wherever light finds it through
I will be waiting for you
Wherever light guides you
I will be waiting for you
Whatever our lives will do
I will be waiting for you
And they're praying to a God to try and keep them safe
but all the fighting in the city's being done in His name
And she sees it as he's reading
that his hope is barely breathing
Wherever light finds it through
I will be waiting for you
Wherever light guides you
I will be waiting for you
Whatever our lives will do
I will be waiting for you
And under the blood red sky we live we die in vain
And under the blood red sky we live we die again
Under the blood red sky we live we die in vain
Into the blood red sky we learn to run away
