Rain Thunders

 

I'll sing these words to you I hope they will ring true 

They're not some magic chimes To cover up my crimes 

Eva, of this I'm sure Imagination's strong And reason's song Is weak and thin We don't have long I stood upon a cliff A deep abyss below Compelled to look I tried To fight it off, God knows I tried This horrid urge to look below But half-horrified and half-relieved I cast my eyes toward the abyss The dark abyss I heard a ringing in my ears I knew my death knell's ugly sound The overbearing urge to gaze Into the deep abyss, the haze So strong the yearning for the fall Imagination's strong And reason's song Is weak and thin We don't have long [Eva:] I'll never sing again Shunning all lights at night I'll never sing again Smashing every lamp I see I'll never sing again Living in full darkness I'll never sing again A vampire forever [Gary:] Eva! No No, no Eva [Gary (Eva):] I sang these words to you (Can I forgive what you have done?) I hope that they'd ring true (And will I ever forgive mom?) Imagination is so strong (Her deadly poison I became) And reason's song is never strong (Merely a child to exploit) Imagination is so strong (Forgive you both?) And reason's song (Forget you both?) So faint and shrill (To take that oath?) I stood above the deep abyss (To take that oath?) [Eva (Gary):] But is forgiveness the sole way (This horrid urge to look below) When all has gone so far astray (God knows I tried to fight it off) Extract the poison from one's heart (Half-horrified and half-relieved) And from one's soul I can't be sure (I cast my eyes down the abyss) Forgive the two of you or not? I take this oath (Sympathy for the dark abyss) Forgive you both? I take this oath (Sympathy for the dark abyss) I take this oath Forgive you both? Or forget you both? (Don't cast your eyes) I must be strong (Down the abyss) I must be strong [Gary:] Goodbye, Eva Goodbye, Eva Goodbye, Eva Goodbye, Eva Goodbye

Death is not the greatest loss The greatest loss is what dies inside us, while we're still alive in the coffin

You didn't even take time to notice the distinct lack of colour Lives lost to the plague and this rat race And the only difference between yourself And the crazy man who stalks main street And you found yourself 

Headstones and your heart 

Lights on me Lights on me Lights on me

Headstones and your heart In this pit of souls, it's like a dead bird The victim of a hit and run 

Lights on me Lights on me kind of pretty

 I sit and they all dancin' around me (around me) 

In this pit of souls, it's like a dead bird 

The victim of a hit and run Left on the roadside to rotten be Reclaimed by the concrete and the soil Can't you see? Death is not the greatest loss The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we're still alive You didn't even take time to notice the distinct lack of colour Lives lost to the plague and this rat race And the only difference between yourself And the crazy man who stalks main street 

He found himself on a park bench 

And you found yourself at the bottom of a prescription bottle 

Lights on me Lights on me kind of pretty I sit and they all dancin' around me 

Lights on me Lights on me kind of pretty I sit and they all dancin' around me Lights on me Lights on me kind of pretty I sit and they all dancin' around me Lights on me Lights on me kind of pretty I sit and they all dancin' around me (Around me) Lights on me Lights on me kind of pretty I sit and they all dancin' around me 

Headstones and your heart In this pit of souls, it's like a dead bird The victim of a hit and run Lights on me Lights on me kind of pretty I sit and they all dancin' around me (around me) In this pit of souls, it's like a dead bird The victim of a hit and run Left on the roadside to rotten be Reclaimed by the concrete and the soil

I used to be the one I used to be your getaway dreamer I couldn't get enough Thinking that we would last forever 

Don't know what you're thinking of Slipping further out of reach To the edge of town we could go Away from all the world to see 

You were wild trying to set yourself free

Nothing and no one is free. The world is not free.

 I didn't see the signs right in front of me Oh, I'm running in the night so soon 

I've got nothing left to lose I'm leaving it all behind, 

running in the night with you I won't let you get away again 

We can see it through to the end But whatever we do I'm running in the night with you I used to be the one I used to be your place to land Under the shadows Into the palm of my hand You're always changing the situation 

Just when we found paradise 

You're always shutting down my conversation 

I can never read your mind 

Oh, I'm running in the night so soon I've got nothing left to lose I'm leaving it all behind, running in the night with you I won't let you get away again We can see it through to the end But whatever we do I'm running in the night with you Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh Running with the night Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh I'm Running with the night Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh Oh, I'm running in the night so soon I've got nothing left to lose I'm leaving it all behind, running in the night with you I won't let you get away again We can see it through to the end But whatever we do 

I'm running in the night with you
