lyrics

I’m looking at the sky and asking why….
It’s the way we grow, but when did I stop seeing?

A friend saw the weather changing
But it never rained, and we didn’t believe him.
A friend saw the weather changing
But it never rained, he was saying…

You don’t even know
You don’t even care about it
You’re above it
You thought it would die out
Didn’t see the willow weeping down...

Whispers all around
Turning into shouts
Voices canceling out
Each starved for the love it wasted

There’ll be hell before heaven
Dues for all to pay before it’s even…
There’ll be hell before heaven
Dues paid by all we believed in.

You don’t even know
You don’t even care about it
You’re above it
You didn’t see them drown
Didn’t see the bodies flowing down...

Didn’t see the blood ‘till it reached us
‘Till it made our edges borderless

I saw the weather changin
And the colour of the rain
I saw the colour of the rain
But they didn’t believe me
