Lyrics of Heathens by AURORA
verse
She bargains with the world
So everything she wants will come to her
With no greed inside her mind
She knows what she deserves
verse
We fell from sky with grace
And landed in her soft and warm embrace
She gave her love, her gift of life
So we could live with her
chorus
That is why we live like heathens
Stealing from the trees of Eden
Living in the arms of freedom
And everything we touch is evil
That is why we live like heathens
verse
The stone, the dirt, the dust
The unforgiving promise made to us
Unworthy of your light, your god, your touch
We're guided by the lust
verse
We cry the fallen names
We cry for those who burn beneath the flame
We stand besides the good and brave
The broken and enslaved
chorus
That is why we live like heathens
Stealing from the trees of Eden
Living in the arms of freedom
And everything we touch is evil
That is why we live like heathens
bridge
Everything you touch will be hers
A mother with no heart will give love
bridge
Her love is yours, but only if you give your heart to her
chorus
That is why we live like heathens
Stealing from the trees of Eden
Living in the arms of freedom
And everything we touch is evil
That is why we live like heathens
outro
That is why we live like heathens
That is why we live like heathens
Writer(s): Magnus Skylstad, Aurora Aksnes, Odd Martin Skalnes
