The first thing that i saw as,
the fisherman smiled at me
were empty people dressed in grey,
floating out to sea
the rain lashed down in darkness
a lizard blinked an eye
and time stopped in the silence
the small fish gave a cry
The next thing that i saw as,
things were fading fast
were dreams of children's laughter,
smouldering to dust
the rain lashed down in darkness
a lizard blinked an eye
and time stopped in the silence
the small fish gave a cry
The last thing that i saw as, my life passed by
were fields of empty people, laying down to die
the rain lashed down in darkness
a lizard blinked an eye
and time stopped in the silence
to watch the burning sky.
