Heat Lightning

Night skies, wild eyes

Reflecting in the faint light

Of the moon, the red moon

Color of the smoke consumed

Your turn to keep watch

As language shifts beneath us

The hand of man hits hard

Like footprints of the gods

Second sight, third eye

Unlocks the gate inside

Quiet guide, shadow mind

Lamp for a path that winds

Doors open, step through

Magnetic pull to you

Moon rise in daylight

The distant sound of a fight

And when the heat lightning

Starts again

Turns the woods ablaze

Without warning

Indelible nightmares, loss to flame

Scorching all the earth

In its wake

When the wind whips a righteous storm

And the smoke, it blinds the sun

You're taking credit, blaming everyone

When the wind whips a righteous storm

And the smoke, it blinds the sun

You're taking credit, blaming everyone

Hold vigil, burn bright

Black hole of love and light

All we are, what we do

Will be a radar echo

War's over, peace soldier

What you gonna do when you're older?

All your life, trained for might

There's nothing left to fight

And when the heat lightning starts again

Turns the skies ablaze without warning

Liminal hardware can't sustain

We have lost control

New day dawning

When the wind whips a righteous storm

And the smoke, it blinds the sun

You're taking credit, blaming everyone

When the wind whips a righteous storm

And the smoke, it blinds the sun

You're taking credit, blaming everyone

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

Whoa, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

Whoa, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

When the wind whips a righteous storm

And the smoke, it blinds the sun

You're taking credit, blaming everyone

When the wind whips a righteous storm

And the smoke, it blinds the sun

We're going backwards, blaming everyone
