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
