[Instrumental Intro]


[Verse 1]

Rain, on my skin

Clears and pollutes me, deep within

Lightning daggers

Pierce their prey, then they're gone

The world goes on


[Verse 2]

I am standing in the dark

I'm looking for some light

A glimmer or a spark

I'm listening for a voice

The silence is so loud

Echoing inside of me


[Verse 3]

Now, I'm searching for your eyes

All I see is emptiness

Cold and stormy skies

Now, I'm reaching out my hand

Winter's grip takes hold on me

I'm frozen where I stand


[Verse 4]

Then a flesh of sun above

Perhaps this is the kiss of death

Could this be her final act of love


[Instrumental Outro]
