Armies & Nations Lyrics

We stand on top of the world
As if we're all gods casting lots for the nations
The stage is laden in red, the blood of our sons
Look what we've made of creation

Let it all fall down, let it all cave in
It's not till we're broken that we can begin
Let yourself go, let your fears show
It's not till we're open that love can come in

We stand on top of the world
And look at ourselves as if we're something to worship
We may be covered in gold
And shine like the sun
But soon enough we'll be naked

Let it all fall down, let it all cave in
It's not till we're broken that we can begin
Let yourself go, let your fears show
It's not till we're open that love can come in

What is salvation
Without armies and nations?
What is creation
Without armies and nations?
Tell me what is salvation
Without armies and nations?
And tell me what is creation
Without armies and nations?

Let it all fall down, let it all cave in
It's not till we're broken that we can begin
Let yourself go, let your fears show
It's not till we're open that love can come in

Let it all fall down, let it all cave in
It's not till we're broken that we can begin
Let yourself go, let your fears show
It's not till we're open that love can come in
