Whirlwind

I felt a shiver in the heat-haze and the waiting time is over Strange tongues on the airwaves as the voices call from distant lands I saw which was the winning side but still I joined the other And I'm in love with every strange unfolding day As the storm begins to break cover So let the whirlwind blow - through the ice, the melting snows - across the freezing skies and the tiny lights below And so we shutter up the doorways as the ripples move towards us For a moment stop breathing - She wakes and stirs beneath our feet The Order try to stand their ground, while every battlefront is shifting They still believe that they can hold the reins But then they've got no sense of history So let the whirlwind blow - through the ice, the melting snows - across the freezing skies and the tiny lights below - the waters seething, bubbling out of control - come on take my hand and we'll dive A television blares in an empty room The poisoned waters glisten Goliath staggers round in a punch-drunk daze Doesn't understand what hit him I saw which was the winning side but still I joined the other And I'm in love with every strange unfolding day As the storm begins to break cover Let the whirlwind blow - through the ice, the melting snows - across the freezing skies and the tiny lights below - the waters seething, out of control - we watch the oceans rise and the governments start to fall - across the freezing skies until the lights go out below
