lyrics
Back when the wars began and the walls all caved in
We breathed in the dust and dead skin
Counting the cost of our sin
But it won't matter that much when we're older
But it won't matter that much when we're colder
But it won't matter that much when we open our eyes
We wandered through the crowd and we heard the trumpet sound
We breathed in the water, not to drown
And heard the blood crying out
But it won't matter that much when we're older
But it won't matter that much when we're colder
But it won't matter that much when we open our eyes
Come to me now, four winds
Let me feel your breath on my skin
Pray for me now, Saint Julian
I see a white stag running in my head
But it won't matter that much when we're older
But it won't matter that much when we're colder
But it won't matter that much when we open our eyes
We breathed in the dust and dead skin
Counting the cost of our sin
But it won't matter that much when we're older
But it won't matter that much when we're colder
But it won't matter that much when we open our eyes
We wandered through the crowd and we heard the trumpet sound
We breathed in the water, not to drown
And heard the blood crying out
But it won't matter that much when we're older
But it won't matter that much when we're colder
But it won't matter that much when we open our eyes
Come to me now, four winds
Let me feel your breath on my skin
Pray for me now, Saint Julian
I see a white stag running in my head
But it won't matter that much when we're older
But it won't matter that much when we're colder
But it won't matter that much when we open our eyes
