The first thing that I saw as, the fisherman smiled at me 

Were empty people dressed in grey, floating out to sea 

The rain lashed down in darkness 

A lizard blinked an eye 

And time stopped in the silence 

The small fish gave a cry



The next thing that I saw as, things were fading fast 

Were dreams of children's laughter, smouldering to dust 

The rain lashed down in darkness 

A lizard blinked an eye 

And time stopped in the silence 

The small fish gave a cry



The last thing that I saw as, my life passed by 

Were fields of empty people, laying down to die 

The rain lashed down in darkness 

A lizard blinked an eye 

And time stopped in the silence 

To watch the burning sky.
