Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Oh, oh

(Oh, oh)

Oh, oh

(Oh, oh)

Oh, oh

(Oh, oh)

Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]

The sky glows

I see it shining when my eyes close

I hear your warnings, but we both know

I'm gonna look at it again

[Verse 3]

Don't wait, don't wait

The road is now a sudden sea

And suddenly you're deep enough

To lay your armor down

To lay your armor down

To lay your armor down

[Verse 4]

Well, you get one look

I'll show you something that the knife took

A bit to early for my own good

Now let's not speak of it again

[Verse 5]

Don't wait, don't wait

The road is now a sudden sea

And suddenly you're deep enough

To lay your armor down

To lay your armor down

To lay your armor down

[Verse 6]

Oh, oh

(Oh, oh)

Oh, oh

(Oh, oh)

Oh, oh

(Oh, oh)

Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 7]

Don't wait, don't wait

The lights will flash and fade away

The days will pass you by

Don't wait

To lay your armor down

To lay your armor down

To lay your armor down

To lay your armor down

To lay your armor down

[Verse 8]

Oh, oh

(Oh, oh)

Oh, oh

(Oh, oh)

Oh, oh
