作词 : Heaton, Sullivan | |
The roll of distant thunder breaks | |
The afternoon of silence wakes | |
They hurry through from | |
Petergate as if they know this dance | |
In fury blind | |
I drive at night | |
Across the moors, the open roads | |
Beneath the freezing starry skies, racing in some trance | |
These cities are illusions of some triumph over | |
Nature's laws | |
We've seen the iron carcass rust and buildings topple into dust | |
And as the waters rise it seems we cling to all the rootless things | |
The Christian lies, technology, while spirits scream and sing... | |
Oh, God, I love the world | |
Well I never said | |
I was a clever man | |
But I know enough to understand | |
That the endless leaps and forward plans will someday have to cease | |
You blind yourselves with comfort lies | |
Like lightning never strikes you twice | |
And we laugh at your amazed surprise as the | |
Ark begins to sink | |
The temple that is built so well, to separate us from ourselves | |
Is a power grown beyond control and a will without a face | |
And watching from outside | |
I wish that | |
I could wash my hands of this | |
But we are locked together here, this bittersweet embrace... | |
Oh, God, I love the world | |
And if one day the final fire | |
Explodes across the whitened sky | |
I know you said you'd rather die and make it over fast | |
With courage from your bravest friends | |
Waiting outside for the end | |
With no bitterness but an innocence that | |
I can't seem to grasp | |
I know, somehow | |
I will survive this fury just to stay alive | |
So drunk with sickness, weak with pain | |
I can walk the hills one last time | |
Scarred and smiling, dying slow | |
I'll scream to no one left at all | |
I told you so, | |
I told you so, | |
I told you so... | |
Oh, God, I love the world |
