lyrics

When I saw you in the night
And your lips were painted white
Well it gave me such a thrill
And you'd spied out what's to come
So when all is said and done
You will know the end is real

I don't know where you are now
In the middle of the darkest night
If I ever lay my eyes on you again
Well I sure as hell am gonna fight for you

When I saw you in the day
And your skin was faded grey
Well it gave me such a chill
And the rain was beating down
As we laid you in the ground
And you said I know you will

I don't know what you're saying
In the middle of the darkest night
I don't know if it's wrong or if it's right
But I sure as hell am gonna fight for you

Bombs have already blown
Every acre that I roam
Not a mountain left unturned
and the cities are all dead
Every river painted red
All the languages unlearned

I don't know what you're doing
in the middle of the darkest hour
There is no one left to beat behind the fence
No one left to raise my arms against
