On the very day I die 
The very last of my desires 
Is that you take my broken body 
And commit it to the fire 
 
And then when the fire is finished 
Scrape the ashes in a tin 
Take them down to London’s drinking reservoirs 
And throw them in 
 
And then specks infinitesimal of my mortal remains 
Will slide down 7 million throats and into 7 million veins 
And I will creep through their capillaries to the marrow of their bones 
And they will wake to bright new mornings and then wordlessly they’ll know 
 
That I remain 
I am remembered 
I remain 
I am remembered 
 
So these 7 million innocents 
They will have me in their blood 
And when they die they’ll burn their bodies 
Or be buried in the mud 
And I will spread through streams and rivers like a virus through a host 
From the hamlets to the cities from the rivers to the coast 
And from there into the channel across the great Atlantic Ocean 
And ever onwards to the new world 
Through the waters gentle motions 
Until parts of me are part of every land mass every sea 
In the rain, up on your crops and in the very air you breath 
 
I remain 
I am remembered 
I remain 
I am remembered 
I remain 
 
And all the things I love will be washed away in the rain 
I remain 
 
I’m not convinced of the existence of these things that don’t exist 
Yeah by Jewish boys with big ideas and scratches on their wrist 
By a loving or a vengeful God 
Or one who condescends 
Who’ll wash his hands down in the mire among the misery of men 
Or by ever turning circles hanging timeless in the sky 
Like a dream catcher distracting from the fact you’re gonna die 
 
But I place one foot before the other 
Confident because 
I know that everything we are right now is everything that was 
That Watt Tyler, Woody, Guthrie, Dostoevsky and Davy Jones 
Are all dissolved into the ether and have crept into my bones 
And all the cells in all the lines upon the backs of both my hands 
Were once carved into the details of two feet upon the sand 
 
We remain 
We are remembered 
We remain 
We are remembered 
We remain 
 
And all the things we love 
Will be washed away in the rain 
We remain

One Foot Before the Other - Frank Turner Lyrics

On the very day I die

The very last of my desires

Is that you take my broken body

And commit it to the fire

And then when the fire is finished

Scrape the ashes in a tin

Take them down to London’s drinking reservoirs

And throw them in

And then specks infinitesimal of my mortal remains

Will slide down 7 million throats and into 7 million veins

And I will creep through their capillaries to the marrow of their bones

And they will wake to bright new mornings and then wordlessly they’ll know

That I remain

I am remembered

I remain

I am remembered

So these 7 million innocents

They will have me in their blood

And when they die they’ll burn their bodies

Or be buried in the mud

And I will spread through streams and rivers like a virus through a host

From the hamlets to the cities from the rivers to the coast

And from there into the channel across the great Atlantic Ocean

And ever onwards to the new world

Through the waters gentle motions

Until parts of me are part of every land mass every sea

In the rain, up on your crops and in the very air you breath

I remain

I am remembered

I remain

I am remembered

I remain

And all the things I love will be washed away in the rain

I remain

I’m not convinced of the existence of these things that don’t exist

Yeah by Jewish boys with big ideas and scratches on their wrist

By a loving or a vengeful God

Or one who condescends

Who’ll wash his hands down in the mire among the misery of men

Or by ever turning circles hanging timeless in the sky

Like a dream catcher distracting from the fact you’re gonna die

But I place one foot before the other

Confident because

I know that everything we are right now is everything that was

That Watt Tyler, Woody, Guthrie, Dostoevsky and Davy Jones

Are all dissolved into the ether and have crept into my bones

And all the cells in all the lines upon the backs of both my hands

Were once carved into the details of two feet upon the sand

We remain

We are remembered

We remain

We are remembered

We remain

And all the things we love

Will be washed away in the rain

We remain
