Running Wild

As you were, like a child
Innocent and running wild
And now you're old and you're grey haired
Your dead-eyed stare
You're running scared

When you were young the fires spread
Southeasterly to beachy head
And london's husk out rust
That fled the lungs a bag of dust

Draw a line in the sand
Coast-to-coast and man-to-man
Repopulate the sherwood forest
And lynch the deathly pale this honest

Carve a scar across the earth
Visible from high above
North and south, sever ties
Kiss your enemies goodbye

Hold of my heart like a stone
Over waters deep below
And running home, through the night
I was running fast
I was running scared
I was running wild
