about

original song by florence and the machine

lyrics

when we first came here
we were cold and we were clear
with no colours on our skin
we were light and paper-thin
and when we first came here
we were cold and we were clear
with no colours on our skin
til you let the spectrum in

say my name and every colour illuminates
we are shining
and we will never be afraid again

and when we come for you
we'll be dressed up all in blue
with the ocean in our arms
kiss your eyes and kiss your palms
and when it's time to pray
we'll be dressed up all in grey
with metal on our tongues
and silver in our lungs

and when we come back we'll be dressed in black
and you'll scream my name so loud
and we won't eat and we won't sleep
we'll drag bodies from the ground

so say my name as every colour illuminates
we are shining
and we will never be afraid again
