If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay.
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence
And nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Let's we forget how fragile we are.
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are (2x).
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are (4x).
