Lyrics

Album version

Dressed in sparks and light Showered in the dazzling white We are the children of the sun But nightfall is about to come The sky turns red A frightful sign So we run We're running out of time Because We live only one day We only live one day We are in heaven but we can't stay We live only one day Daylight counting hours Worshipped by the flowers Related to Mars and moon But the night is coming soon Sky turns red A frightful sign So we run We're running out of time Because We live only one day We only live one day We are in heaven but we can't stay We live only one day And when we die No place to stay We are in heaven anyway We have to go, the sky's in flames We're going down in purple rain Purple rain We live only one day We only live one day We are in heaven but we can't stay We live only one day And when we die No place to stay We are in heaven anyway And after all the night arrives Darkness comes and eats us Eats us alive
