My lover's arms. Ooh they beg me to stay. But I know the storms. They will sweep me away. . My daughter's eyes. They are two tiny seas. Whose water will rise.
It's coming down, it's coming down, it's coming down!. These clouds could never hope to save us. From such a juggernaut of weight. We all dance a jingo cabaret.
Mark me with fear and trembling. Send someone else instead. I know my world is ending. I can't repay my debt. . How can I carry such a heavy burden?. How can I move when I am paralyzed?.
The lion's outside of your door. The wolf's in your bed. The lion's claws are sharpened for war. The wolf's teeth are red. What a monstrous sight he makes.
I feel that I was meant for something more. My curse, this aweful power to unmake. And ever since you found your taste for war. You've forced me onto those whose lives you'd take.
We dream of ways to break these iron bars. We dream of black nights without moon or stars. . We dream of tunnels and of sleeping guards. We dream of blackouts in the prison yard.
Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal. Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel. My world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up. And I open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white.
There's truth beneath the floorboards. There's hope in brick and stone. But they tell me just to shut my mouth. Leave well enough alone. . But I think maybe all that's needed.
