[Verse 1]

The fisherman smiled at me

Were fields of empty people

Floating out to sea

[Chorus]

The rain lashed down in darkness

A lizard blinked an eye

And time stopped in the silence

The small fish gave a cry

[Verse 2]

The next thing that I saw as

Things were fading fast

Were dreams of children's laughter

Smouldering to dust

[Chorus]

The rain lashed down in darkness

A lizard blinked an eye

And time stopped in the silence

The small fish gave a cry

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

The last thing that I saw as

My life passed by

Were fields of empty people

Laying down to die

[Chorus]

The rain lashed down in darkness

A lizard blinked an eye

And time stopped in the silence

To watch the burning sky
