THAT DARK BLUE SKY. The beauty in the runway three minutes in the air this voice's lost we hear the beauty suddenly faraway. The sun is ashamed the land is disgraced the tears of the cloud's couldn't soothe the pains on the ground Mother hen, gather your chicks the inevitable, this so swift as the strike of a cobra We have been waiting for this for we have all foreseen these the fools were so unconvinced that dark blue sky, so convincing The tears are too late to fall the shrieks are late in the dusk the blood unstopped, flows the end has come to stay with those A lightening tearing the heaven with a thunder on our haven piercing through the early dawn killing the innocence of the morn' Our sleep left our eyes our chores left undone outside it wasn't right the crowd was bustling bright Hey! the beauty has arrived Alas! tis beauty's departed the beauty in the runway Horror! the monster on the byway Our Innocence's gone the guilty and sorrows has come three days now we have life three days ago we were dark We are now the most beautiful how ironic, our beauty's sorrowful outside it wasn't right the crowd was bustling night. « return. |
