lyrics

The sky was on fire
And I screamed and cried
"Mother, get down!"
Then the shock wave hit and it blasted through
Everything that I thought I knew
Prayed to all the luck that followed me
Just see us through
But I felt that it was no use
So we said our goodbyes
And we waited

As I held tight
I knew right then that I would surely die
It was my time to go
I never felt more alive

Eyes closed
I saw the whole thing go
Missiles rained down, weaved and chose
Plague-filled pits swallowed men whole
Don't understand how we were passed over
I opened my eyes and we were still alive
But my mother had not seen
Some stone goddess drifted down
From the vibrant architecture in the clouds
She said we read the signs right
She said the time's ripe

O Death, I am through your eyes
I behold no end in sight
Now I know you as life
And ours are the hands that write

But it's a scary game
Blackened with the thousand fears of child to man
And it won't relent
No matter how long you keep crying or moaning

But it's wonderful
Use the hurt to shine

All on one, for how could one be THE without the world warning?
A voltage not yet understood
But it surges through all of you
Which is to say it surges all through me
It surges through everything
