lyrics

DEAD ON THE GROUND

you're lying in the streets
trying not to move
the crowd has circled round
they are peering down on you
we fall from mighty heights
not glancing at the ground
a push from above
and we topple right down
I waited here for you for so long
that i could not recall whether I had fallen up or down

the flashing of the lights
upon this rain drenched streets
the bustle of the crowd
the stamping of their feet
it grinds to a halt
we all stop and stare
we hold each other tight
we hold each other scared
I waited here for you for so long
that I can not recall why you left but I'll stay and
wait for you

the cemetery march
the sounding of the horns
the tears into your sleeve
the prayers to our lord
we fall from mighty heights
not glancing at the ground
a push from above and we topple right down
and I waited here for you for so long
that I cannot recall why you left but I'll stay and
wait for you
