When we first came here

We were cold and we were clear

With no colors on our skin

We were light and paper-thin

And when we come for you,

We?ll be dressed up all in blue,
Abm A B
With the ocean in our arms,
Abm A B
Kissing eyes and kissing palms.
Dbm E
And when it?s time to pray,
A B
We?ll be dressed up all in grey,
Abm A B
With metal on our tongues,
Abm A B
And silver in our lungs.

And we won?t eat and we won?t sleep!
We?ll drag bodies from their graves!
