Lyrics

THE LIGHTS WENT OUT

We were brothers back then
In the fields of pretend
Before the schoolyard wars
Before the leather on skin

And we were taught to believe
Like so many before
That who we were
Could be no more

Chorus:
And the lights went out
In my little town
Something deep inside
Turned dark as night

So we hide away
Through the times of change
With their voice in our head
That forever remains

Chorus

So here we are
Just a voice in the crowd
So near - Yet so far away

Chorus
