Brandi Carlile Church & State Lyrics

[Verse 1]
While the empire was failing
I was so far from home
I heard a thousand sirens wailing
So I was never on my own
And when the blackness slowly parted
I saw the ivory towers
Before the revolution started
Between the madness of the hours

[Chorus]
And they don't see what we see
But we believe, we believe
That they're not gonna live forever
Burn tomorrow, never say
They'rе here today, then thеy're gone forever
Never say, never say, never say
We'll find a way, we'll find a way, we'll find a way
Imagine if we could, imagine if we could
[Verse 2]
And in the days that quickly followed
They began to turn to stone
They couldn't stand or speak or swallow
They couldn't get out of bed alone
And when the frailty overcomes them
And they begin to crawl
Reaching out their bloody hands
Guess who gets to make the call?

[Chorus] Well, they don't see what we see
But we believe, we believe
That they're not gonna live forever
Burn tomorrow, never say
They're here today, then they're gone forever
Never say, never say, never say
We'll find a way, we'll find a way, we'll find a way
Imagine if we could, imagine if we could

[Bridge]
I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church and State

[Chorus]
No, they're not gonna live forever
Burn tomorrow, never say
They're here today, then they're gone forever
Never say, never say, never say
We'll find a way, we'll find a way, we'll find a way
Imagine if we could, imagine if we could
(Woo)
(Woo-hoo)
