lyrics

thunder in the air
where there was no thunder before
lightning covers the city
like a rain covering the moors
catching a grenade in the trench
with no blessing in the end
sometimes one death pays the price for everyone
but this time even the innocent were condemned

everything went bright to white
in the blinking of an eye
there was no last dance for this song
no kisses, no goodbyes
if we awake to a roosters crow again
and find ourselves dressed up in a different skin
when we come out from under cover
i am certain we shall find each other
like children find one another

maybe we will be neighbors
on the same street
or lonely souls in science class
strangers until our eyes meet
like lovers on a field of battle
seperated by the accident of sides
nothing can keep us apart for long
were coming back in like the tide

ill find you in the rivers
rolling down from the hills
ill find you in the flowers
on sombodys window sill
as i loved you in the day time
ill protect you through the night
when dawn pulls down the covers
we will cut through all the clutter
and we will find each other
the way children find one another

we find it then we lose it
then we wonder what it meant
ive seen more depravity
than dante in his descent
we either suffer silently
or else we just go wild
then pass out like a drunkard
and awaken like a child

the right time the right place
we were there
i was picking out a tune on my guitar
you were combing out your ebony hair
now im lying still like dirt
on an abandoned railroad track
and i wont get up till i find the way
to get you back
stars stars burning bright
which is you and which am i
mother father sister brother
like children we will find each other
