As I watched the rising sun A walking shadow on the run There′s no hope and there′s no anger, I′m defensless I stand alone out in the cold Ten more miles on desert sand The farth still shakes – I hear tank shells explode
Is it just a dead memory Stranded in the thirty third latitude degree A few words of truth could never lie Who will kill me – I′m a refugee alive
In and out – I watch the sky explode Enough – our mission′s sold The gushing black rain kills us all In and out – I watch the sky explode Enough – our mission′s sold Even if the black rain kills us all
As men of honour and belief We never knew our enemies There′s no reason that′s worth dying for As I hear the silence break A so called fight, a big mistake Or was it just to see another thousand die
Under friendly fire of our own crew Another day will never come true
In and out – I watch the sky explode Enough – our mission′s sold The gushing black rain kills us all In and out – I watch the sky explode Enough – our mission′s sold Even if the black rain kills us all
Stood there leaning to the city moon, casting silhouettes tall to grip her white rooms the black-clad voyeur in his black-clad masque in the serpentine sun of tragedy basked
Stood there cursing at the soul-dead mass with their fabled illusions, the vain dreams that passed splinters of a life rushing by in the whirl alone, silent warrior in a fantasy world
He cried for night / but night could not come so, swept in the shroud of misanthropia he went away and fed the empty galleries with the artifacts of the black rain sunken into the shadows with a dry, sardonic smile
He made the footprints a part of his heart to rouse a sacred confrontation
Stood there carving on the monument to lies digging of the Earth, making friends with the soil as the all-mother rises and bares her bleeding thighs he disappears into her cold, icy womb
