Turn, turn away, turn away, turn away
Silent face in pain, this face in erased, erase this faith
Bones getting old, getting old, bones old
Arms stretched out wide, this outstretched sky, this burning sky

They want us all to lie awake
They want us all to love with hate
They want us all to fade away
And I want them all to stop

Hands covered eyes, covered eyes, close your eyes
Silent face in pain, this face erased, erase this faith
We’re standing here, we're not stuck here, we're not stuck here
You, you want a war, you’ve got your war, you still want more

They want us all to lie awake
They want us all to love with hate
They want us all to fade away
I want them all to go away
I want a lie
I want a lie
I want a lie
I want a lie
I want a lie
I want a lie
