 Look
 At the riverbanks
 She's looking
 Behind you
 The black clouds
 They fall hard and heavy
 As Eden
 Astounds you
 So hail to those who give their lives
 Who don't stand back when evil rises
 It's not a matter of king or country
 So you think it is over
 Do you think it is really over?
 Look up that skyline
 There's a bad moon rising
 You may not like it
 But that's the lizard you're riding
 Smiles and suits on TV news, they feed us all
 But she's the greatest of liars
 The stupid bird, who dares to speak the naked truth
 Soon lies flat, on the wire
 So hail to those who give their lives
 Who don't stand back when evil rises
 It's not a matter of king or country
 So you think it is over
 Do you think it is really over?

 ♪
 We're all just the same old sinner
 Fighting for a piece of nothing
 Same mistakes goes 'round again (same stupid men)
 Covering up his bloody trail
 Cain, he came back emptyhanded
 With no father's blessing and no holy grail
 ♪
 Look around you
 Take it in before your day is done
 When I found you
 I was cold and all my loving gone
 Life inside you
 Like a spiral sending lifelines from the ground
 When I found her
 She was cold, still in her wedding gown
 Look inside her
 And now she's gone, so bring the darkness down
 Oh, bring the darkness down
 She brought the darkness down
 Down, down, down
 Down, down, down
 Down, down, down
 Down, down, down

 Trees surround you
 They say the body is the garden of the soul
 Lights will blind you
 And all these roads, they say they lead to Rome
 Eyes have found her
 But you say you're better off alone
 Plead forgiveness, for a soul that's bad beyond the bone

 There's truth in numbers
 There's truth in scales
 There's truth in science
 And truth in sales
 And when the sweetness
 Comes to an end
 You try to bargain
 To live again
 There's truth in progress
 There's truth in fame
 There's truth in healing
 And the truth remains
 And when the sweetness
 Comes to an end
 You try to bargain
 To live again
 You look around for the brightest minds
 Or just a few simple words of kindness
 A world gone shallow, cold, and mean
 It's like a wasteland, void of dreams
 Hoping and praying that we'll find our way back home
 There's truth in progress

 And then the numbers may not come up right
 And the artifacts are more than frightening
 Between the Bible and eternal question
 There's an ocean of fear and we're sinking faster
