  • Cowards, here's the sun
    So bow your heads
    In the absence of bombs
    Draw your breath

    Dark, dark places shall be none
    She's melting houses of gold
    And the kids cry out

    We're spitting off the edge of the world
    Out in the night
    Never had no chance
    Nowhere to hide
    Spitting off the edge of the world
    Out comes the sun
    Never had no chance
    Nowhere to run

    Mama, what have you done?
    I trace your steps
    In the darkness of one
    Am I what's left?
    Silver lines whisper to me
    Wounded arms must carry the load
    And the kids cry out

    We're spitting off the edge of the world
    Out in the night
    Never had no chance
    Nowhere to hide
    We're spitting off the edge of the world
    Nowhere to run
    Never had no chance
    Out comes the sun
    Spitting off the edge of the world
    Winds from the sky
    Never had no chance
    Will watch us rise Writer/s: Brian Chase, David Sitek, Karen Lee Orzolek, Nicholas Zinner
