Lyrics
VERSE 1
It’s noon but it’s as dark as night
And through the clearing smoke
The first thing I see is a neon light
Advertising Coke.
VERSE 2
There are desert flowers that you have grown
Broken under the rubble.
This far-off land is little known
This is a local trouble.
CHORUS
There’s a dark star rising,
Growing in a corner of the sky.
There’s a cold star, rising.
But it will burn the naked eye.
VERSE 3
Overhead, the noonday sun
Is staring down in judgement.
Blood and oil mix in the sand
By order of the profit.
VERSE 4
Hatred poisons rivers,
The streets are stained with tears.
Bombs tear modern city blocks
And children hide in fear
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Overhead the birds are wheeling
Lightly turning in the sky
Knowing that the times will change
That every man is born to die.
Desert roses waiting quietly
Growing slowly in the shade.
Nature knows that man will some day
Melt away and slowly fade.
GUITAR SOLO
CHORUS
