ATHLETE LYRICS - Black Swan Song

"Black Swan Song"



I waded through the darkest fields you'd imagine

Your pretty face sketched on the barrel of my gun

And I know you'll be the first to welcome me

When I climb into eternity

Oh, oh



The forest always kept us warm

But it doesn't feel like home anymore

And I know there's bigger mountains where you are

And a better climate for my heart

Oh, oh



I've been racing the clock

And I've run out of steam

I am ready for my final symphony

Oh my body is weak

But my soul is still strong

I am ready to rest in your arms



Though many battles I have won

I lost too many friends I could count on

And I know they'll be the first to welcome me

When I parachute into eternity

Oh, oh



I've been racing the clock

And I've run out of steam

I am ready for my final symphony

Oh my body is weak

But my soul is still strong

I am ready to rest in your arms



And the rain beat down on the rooftops

But there was no sound

There was no sound

And all my friends and family carried me

They carried me home

Carried me home



I've been racing the clock

And I've run out of steam

I am ready for my final symphony

Oh my body is weak

But my soul is still strong

I am ready to rest in your arms

I've been racing the clock

And I've run out of steam

I am ready for my final symphony

Oh my body is weak

But my soul is still strong

I am ready to rest in your arms

Oh, oh
