Song For Mike

Well the rain's coming down
And a cold wind blows
Streets ring empty in the night

A whirlwind of sirens
Echoes ring in violence
Trains whisper loudly out of sight

My body goes cold
When I hear the news
Words ring empty in the night

I'll pay the devil's wages
Let shadows flee my rages
To be together one more time

It ain't me who's stepping out
When the rest are criminals
In an evil unjust world
We'll make our own rules

Peace will never come
While our song remains unsung
Hearts burn brightly in the night

It ain't me who's stepping out
When the rest are criminals
In an evil unjust world
We'll make our own rules

Days carry on
Clouds are drifting on and on and on
Cranes draw circles in the skies

Are you there or are you gone
Or just missing like the sun
I still pray it's all a lie

Open your eyes and
The storms will pass by
The sun breaks silent through the skies

Life carries on
With or without you we're moving on and on
For a chance to meet again

It ain't me who's stepping out
When the rest are criminals
In an evil unjust world
We'll make our own rules
