Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The wounds on your hands never seem to heal
I thought all I needed was to believe
[Verse 2]
Here am I, a lifetime away from you
The blood of christ, or the beat of my heart
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes
[Verse 3]
Senseless years thunder by
Millions are willing to give their lives for you
Does nothing live on?
[Verse 4]
Learning to cope with feelings aroused in me
My hands in the soil, buried inside of myself
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again
[Verse 5]
I'll go walking in circles
While doubting the very ground beneath me
Trying to show unquestioning faith in everything
Here am I, a lifetime away from you
The blood of christ, or a change of heart
[Verse 6]
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again
