lyrics

Sorrow's Song
December 17, 1991

this time I know I'm all alone
that there's no one left to turn to in this colossal waste
I look out across the sand
see the sunrise orange fingers
spreading across my morning sky
see a white flash join the dawn
my silence broken by this sudden song of night
I watch the cloud rise from the plain
feel the heat waves join my pain in the blinding light
nowhere to turn, nowhere to run
the song and dance of the world has come undone today
I watch the wave of light
come my way from the shadows of early morning
feel it rip my soul apart
had nothing from the start I suppose, so anyway
there is nothing left
thought it was the start of a new day - no
flesh blows off my broken bones
one dark afterimage left in my pleading eyes
don't leave me all alone here
I don't know where the world is going to go to
but the flash signs it is done
the desert ripples as the war has begun again
this time no thousands writhe in pain, good
the world is left in peace today, mankind in pieces
who gave a damn about it anyway, not you or I
though it was we could have stopped the carnage
and when it's over peace will rain
watch the heat waves dance in no one's vision, none are left to see
there is nothing left but ocean and a steady blacking rain
sheeting down from the sky on a barren of ashes and diamond
glaring without sun, on nothing
peace remains
