long run the silent horses
soft cry the shellshock houses
wring dry the salty tears
of sailors and their lovers

bring forth the silent movies
kiss all the twilight crime
bleach blonde the high wire groupies
sucking up their time

lungs crack the vapors anxious
drain out the fleeing sources
sits through the sunday speeches
delivered out in thin air

rain rusts the creaking masses
wind blows the temples down
blood fills the exit tunnels
streaking out of town

it's about time
it's about drawing near
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears

unleash the armageddon
draw down the hungry prayer
kneeling for the final verdict
judges draw you near

let fly your model armies
let fly the locust cry
uncork the hidden forces
amassing to a lie

it's about time
it's about you here
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears

i need time
too find your soul
too find your lie
blue skies bring tears
until i go blind

shake loose the huddled masses
spit on the urgent armies
cracked tooth the fading roses
frozen since your burn

fire all your dead tree soldiers
shoot down these skeletal bells
i don't know means to crisis
that doesn't go through hell

blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
