The Second Coming

There’s a crack in the wall and who

Will save us from the other side?

We are the children of an unwanted war

And we’ve all been thrown to the fire

The vapors of our love are still

Suspended all around in the sky

But soon they’ll be swept away

From the shore of the blood dimmed tide

The world turns when the center can not hold

Calling out to anybody now

I’m slipping and I’m losing all control

We’re upside down

The anthem’s fading out

We’ve lost the only place that we call home

I traced my steps across the tracks

Past the myth that sent me blind

There I found all I ever lost

Set ablaze there in the night

To my brothers on relief

Flipping your last dime

See sister stuck between the isles

And she grows oh so tired

The world turns when the center can not hold

Calling out to anybody now

I’m slipping and I’m losing all control

We’re upside down

The anthem’s fading out

We’ve lost the only place that we call home
