lyrics

A skin crawling day and heart beating night,
Will I ever find joy in all this plight?
Bombs are falling hard, the veil is in it's place,
The man's alive and well, his people no face.

And in all this time that we've fought together,
I get out my weighing scales and the good times I'll measure.
And surprise surprise, like a see-saw it looks,
With all the bad below, and all the good is crooked.

And oh, what do you know?
Another war could grow,
And the tears
The tears will go.

And someday we'll meet in a future so rough,
When all our plans are dead and we've suffered enough.
And sometime I'll see, what you all meant to us,
As joyful as the rain,
As welcome as it's rust.

And here is my home and here is my earth,
Here are all my morals, there truth and all it's worth.
And here is mind to hide away the pain,
I guess I've gotta find a world without this rain.

What do you know?
Another love could grow.
And the tears, the tears will
Go...

You're beside yourself
Your guilt keeps you company.
History will be your judge.
You're a dead man.
And I'm beside myself
With anger and apathy.
But I'm beside my friends,
I'm a lucky,
Lucky,
Man.
