paroles de chanson The Lifeboat - Frank Turner

There′s a shadow across the land
There's a hatred and a hunger
And it′s hard to understand
How we fell so far from where we began
There's a stumble now in our step
There's blood in the flem
There′s a lump in the breast
There′s a smell of sickness on our breath
There's a dread deep down in our bones
Something is finished, abandon your homes
Strike out into the great unknown
But there are no new continents to be found
No new frontiers to cross
No gold in the ground
Stay with the books, blessed ye be drowned
Save what you can
Behind us the old world in flames
Lower the lifeboats
Take the tiller
Steer the way
There are stories now worth being told
There are victories to grasp more valuable than gold
And we will speak of to our children when we′re old
There are battles now, words being formed
There are lessons to be learned and later to be told
There are soldiers on the field who can't be blood
There′s a clarity now in our view
From the prow we see far that all now is new
Free our loves, we know what we must do
There is hope now in the wind
And the millions who are marching demanding we be kind
From the new lives the lifeboat might find
Save what you can
Behind us the old world in flames
Lower the lifeboats
Take the tiller
Steer the way
Save what you can
Lower the lifeboats
Steer the way
Find shore, a ground on the horizon
Through the waves
Steer a clear coarse to a new world
To a new day
Save what you can
Lower the lifeboats
Steer the way
