I've been singing all day
Just to watch you slip away
Into the night, and there's no way I can stay,
Here today.
I could see you alright
Just behind the light
Of the rock and roll playing heavy through the night,
And I pray for you to stay.
Never again, never again
Will I see you in the light.
Left to the night, you're a lost man, fine man.
Coming up dry, where the bodies all return;
You weren't there.
Still alive, you're a strong man somehow,
But we can't find a way to get you out.
Still your heart beats on.
****
Still you stuck around
As the new night angel,
And I followed you down
Deep into the forge of life
To craft new eyes.
Searing hot as they poured
Deep into our brains,
Permeating the core
To envelope all our ways,
To see true sight.
Never again, never again
Will you find me above.
Every day falling into place,
Like I orchestrated this life to go my way.
And our beat goes on.
Drudging right through with the king's brigade.
Every step was so hard,
But so very worth the wait.
And we carry on.
Yeah.
****
I’m bringing a fire in my eyes.
I’m tearing apart all of their lies.
I’m coming clean.
This world's redeemed.
Your fire's burning deep in me.
Tonight they're all that I can see.
What meets the eye,
We'll burn alive.
Never again, never again
Will I lose this sight.
Singing it loud, crashing through the night.
Blowing to bits any other form of eyes
That aren't alive.
Playing it well, holding off their grip.
Some are strong for me to fight alone.
But the beat goes on.
****
There will be a time when the grand will fall.
When the grand will fall you'll see.
Falling on and on and on.
There will be a time when the grand will fall,
And the beat goes on you'll see.
On and on and on and on.
You'll see.
There will be a time when the grand will fall.
When the grand will fall you'll see.
You'll see it.
There will be a time when the grand will fall,
And the beat goes on you'll see.
You'll see.
Just to watch you slip away
Into the night, and there's no way I can stay,
Here today.
