Start Running

(album: Sigh No More - 1991)

Mankind has found every treasure on earth
It stands to the reason that we have got all we want
Comfort is now a condition of life
Without any sources our dream will fade away

To live a better day was our final aim
Did we ever try?

Start running!

The moment of reason will someday appear
But then it's too late to return or to stay
No single person can change the truth
We have to move forward and do it side by side

To live a better day is our final aim
And we won't stop trying

Start running can't you see the hangmen are coming?
Start running can't you see the hangmen are coming?

The things we have done to destroy our world are enough
How long will this madness remain?

We're children of the warriors, we learn from our faults
Hope is our guiding hand, conscience is our force

Start running can't you see the hangmen are coming?
Start running can't you see the hangmen are coming?
Start running can't you see the hangmen are coming?
Start running can't you see the hangmen are coming?
