Lyrics
I can hear the bells rining
And feel the Angels singing
4 double time in the depths of the storm
And the horsemen come riding
and the vials go sliding
And rain down the evil upon this world
And a pillar of fire by Day
And a pillar of fire by nightG
And she points to her love
who sits on the throne aboVe
Come dear please show me the way
In your hopeless direction
Of your incurable infection
No words, or truth or love it could soothe
All the signs and the omens
That you were all hoping
Your gods in their wisdom would not grant or approve
And some of them are carried by time
And some of them are carried by truth
Like the taking and the giving in the moment of their living is their faith and their cross and their proof.
Now James Dean and MArilyn
In they came a twirling Lost in the shine and the gleam of the eyes
Another Idol broken
Another Hero smoking
Vultures now feasting on their perfect insides.
Oh some of them are transported by words
And some of em are transported by rules
And soem of them follow in the dust and the footsteps
The ramblings of liars and fools
Where the mushroom cloud hovered
You were discovered
Wrapped in a dust cloud eaving the train
As the storm cloud it threateded
Your were protecting
The ones who had caused this death falling rain.
Can you see past the blood and the lies
Where beauty and truth are disguised
Past the fear and the shadows
Past The words that are written
Past the tombstones that shine from your eyes
And a pillar of fire by Day
And a pillar of fire by night
And she points to her love
who sits on the throne aboVe
Come dear please show me the way
Come dear please show me the way
And some of them are carried by words
And some of them are transported by truth
Like the taking and the giving
in the moment of their living
is their faith and their cross and their proof.
