Comfort past the summertime,
Shooting through the tangled
road signals of the storm
Was this the year we were to see,
or the year before the last?
When reality just starved to death
and the future ate the past
Standing on this empty plain,
Surely as the winds will rise,
The unblinking eye of the dragon
Every child was born deceived as
they saw the earth be killed
Choices must be made here,
what to keep and leave behind
Symbols shattered in the wind,
Surely as the lightning strikes,
Tongues thirst by the river,
mouths starve on the flames
The burning bush spits poison,
Compassion nailed to the cross,
the day the righteous fled
What meaning is worth the rescue if
that indifference has been bled?
I feel like a fugitive running to the sun
Sure as the thunder roars the rains
I'm praying for deliverance
from a world I cannot see
Will there ever be redemption
if one soul's left unfree
I'm looking to the heavens,
I'm looking to the ground
The whole world's gone to pieces,
The vision of a blind man
Surely as the darkness falls,
Surely as the darkness falls,
Surely as the winds will rise, the rains are gonna come
