4th of July

[Verse 1]

Shower in the dark day, clean sparks diving down

Cool in the waterway where the baptized drown

Naked in the cold sun, breathing life like fire

I thought I was the only one, but that was just a lie

[Chorus]

'Cause I heard it in the wind

And I saw it in the sky

I thought it was the end

I thought it was the Fourth of July

Ooh

[Verse 2]

Pale in the flare light, the scared light cracks and disappears

And leads the scorched ones here

And everywhere no one cares, a fire is spreading

And no one wants to speak about it

Down in the hole

Jesus tries to crack a smile

Beneath another shovel load

[Chorus]

And I heard it in the wind

And I saw it in the sky

And I thought it was the end

I thought it was the Fourth of July

I heard it in the wind

And I saw it in the sky

And I thought it was the end

I thought it was the Fourth of July

July, July

[Guitar Solo]

Yeah, oh

[Verse 3]

Now I'm in control, now I'm in the fallout

Once asleep, but now I stand

And I still remember your sweet everything

Light a Roman candle and hold it in your hand

[Chorus]

'Cause I heard it in the wind

And I saw it in the sky

And I thought it was the end

I thought it was the Fourth of July

I heard it in the wind

And I saw it in the sky

And I thought it was the end

I thought it was the Fourth of July

Yeah...
