Your colours are faded
They only shine forth rarely
They sit far too deep in your heart
Because your power was lost
For the journey through life
Through time, that sometimes
Made of fear and tears, black and white
Then tears into gray
Finally start and break the spell
Finally start and break the spell
Finally start and break the spell
If not now then when?
[Refrain:]
We are like diamonds
Pale light breaks through us
Life just sharpens our edges
But we don't break
Look at yourself and your scars
That life left behind
A wall, so cold and hard
That surrounds your heart so tightly
Let's come and tear it down now
We are harder than stone
The gray curtain falls down
And lets the light in
It lets the light into us
It lets the light into us
And we are happy, finally free
So free, so free
[Refrain:]
We are like diamonds
Pale light breaks through us
Life just sharpens our edges
But we don't break
We don't break
The light breaks through us in a thousand colours
But we don't [break]
We'll still be here
In a thousand years
The dull gray carries no weight
[Refrain:]
We are like diamonds
Pale light breaks through us
Life just sharpens our edges
But we don't break
We are like diamonds
We are like diamonds
We don't break
