“ They Ran ” Lyrics

[Intro] Every heartbeat of your life did exist before you stood at this...The Gate of Tor.
[Poem] They ran, unknowingly through twilight's tattered tollings/
only to burst in on a man deep in the core of thought/
rotating on Medina/
revolving about Jerusalem/
while breathing the ritual and sacrament...of an Aztec .

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
