In this shattered land

The moon is rising up in blood

We try and understand

Quiet evenings call

The hums of thunder rumble in

Stars from silver orbits fall

I had an open heart

I believe I was told to guard it

Instead, I let it break apart

See the desert glow

Cross this fairyland

The sparks are flying like the torch you hold in your hand

What happened to the honesty?

Where is the cold hard truth?

Can you swallow what you chew?

All this tragedy

Yeah, we don't have regrets

We let them wash away

With our sheer ignorance

My spirit's bound

And it's tied up in chains

Taking flight, crashing like a paper plane in the rain

What happened to the honesty?

Where is the cold hard truth?

Can you swallow what you chew?

Father, Father, I bid you adieu

The man out of time, I'll see you soon

Father, Father, I bid you adieu

Every day I miss him

What happened to the honesty?

Where is the cold hard truth?

Can you swallow what you chew?

Father, Father, I bid you adieu

The man out of time, I'll see you soon

Father, Father, I bid you adieu

Somewhere up there singing the blues

Never out of tune
