Open wide I'm ready for the battle
Our fight, this burning bed
See the bones that bullets have shattered
And I feel every drop of blood you've bledLay down these promises broken
Take me into your hurricane
While violent clouds roll over
I'll hold your hand till the colors fade
I'll be here till your dying day[Chorus:]
Sing loud from the roof tops
Come dance on the rivers edge
Carry me over mountains to the end of love
Close the gates to the city
Hear the drums on the hillside
Carry me over mountains to the end of loveStanding in a field of voices
Find shelter from the blame
Even if you think it's all over
I'll be here till the colors fade
I'll be here till your dying daySing loud from the rooftops
Come dance on the rivers edge
Carry me over mountains to the end of love
Close the gate to the city
Hear the drums on the hillside
Carry me over mountains to the end of loveOOoooh OOoohh OOooohhh [x4]Put down the knife you're weilding
Let high stone walls fall away
With gentle time will be an ending
And I'll be here till the colors fade
And I'll be here till your dying day[Chorus:]
Sing loud from the rooftops
Come dance on the rivers edge
Carry me over mountains to the end of love
Close the gate to the city
Hear the drums on the hillside
Carry me over mountains to the end of loveSing loud, burn it down, call the river as we fall apart
