Before the Swim

[Verse 1]
Off and on, I've asked you why
You run from the field when the bullets fly
Could it be that you’re afraid of dying?
Don’t you know when you’re asked to come home
It's the greatest gift you could ever know
A blessing to be bestowed upon your life

[Verse 2]
When the evening comes we'll sing along
To the sound of the waves and the beat of the drum
Dancing like we'll never breathe again
As the blackened stain of a brand new day
Reflect upon the charred remains
Of a vanquished foe you thought was a friend

[Verse 3]
The Red Queen sits by her battleships
She knows that she's no longer missed
By the Prince of Thieves who came to steal her heart
While her dropship sails into the sun
In the hopes of finding another one
To replace the love she gave to a dying star
But I know that someday we'll be free to breathe again
And I know it will only happen when
You say you'll let me carry on being envied
By the fools you've loved for their indifference
