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

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

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

it's about time
it's about fear
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 being here
blue skies bring tears
don't you love me
i'll be here for you tonight
'till the seas die

you are the angel becoming
you are the angel ascending
cracked tooth, your fading roses
frozen since your burn

Blue Skies Bring Tears   (normal version)
Blue Skies Bring Tears   (acoustic demo 1)
Blue Skies Bring Tears   (acoustic demo 2)
Blue Skies Bring Tears   (Machina II)

unleash the armageddon
so all the children go to heaven
i sit by quiet still
with their pictures on my eyes
you'll draw the guns you're given
write down the words as written
and never disturb the presense
of resurrection crutch

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

descend the darkened stairways
make hate with plastic playmates
and fire out remaining traces
of your self esteem
mainline the deepest secrets
lick clean the dirty fingers
i am a stranger to you
as you are to yourself

and it's about time
it's about fear
blue skies bring tears
don't you want me (don't want you)
as i awake the city sight
we'll watch the seasons die

blue skies bring tears
take me inside your body
blue skies bring tears
cover me with your soul
blue skies bring tears
to the darkest recess
blue skies bring tears
is where i wish to go
blue skies bring tears
you are the sweetest flower
blue skies bring tears
that i have ever devoured
blue skies bring tears
i ask for nothing given
blue skies bring tears
for nothing in return
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears
blue skies bring tears

blue skies bring tears
