Athlete - Black Swan Song Lyrics

Artist: Athlete

Album: Black Swan

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Joel Laslett Pott, Steven Alexander Roberts, Timothy John Wanstall, Carey Suthon Willetts

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, they carried me home

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, they 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

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, oh, oh

    Very few songs make me catch my breath. This one does; I'm glad to know his grandad survived Arnhem after being so severely wounded.
