We are bones, we are bones

We've lost our hearts we've lost our homes

We were wild, we were wild

We had our teeth, we had our bites

We had our wars, we took to the skies
We engaged in conflicts (wars) and explored the skies.
When we were young you said

We're all the same beneath, our skeletons, our biting teeth
