machine

 

 

When you need to sing a song

Scream or you will not be heard

Town and cities, shining cities, shining noises

Talk so loud and nothing’s learned

Talk so loud and nothing’s learned

 

The machine still works and works

Though the end so empty, love

So we live and die, laugh and cry, swear and lie

Fall and fly until the end

But we never wonder why

No, we never wonder why

 

Who can i believe?

Bread and stones – we feed

They told me to believe

They told me so but

 

Now someone broke the pictures

And someone else is gonna break what’s left

Who will come to save you?

And who will come to save us all tonight?

 

Somebody help him to come back again for the kingdom come

Somebody help him to come back again for the kingdom come

 

Once he guided with a star

Princes, kings and visionaries

Babylon, Jerusalem

Manna falling from heaven

Talk but never understand all the rules from one to ten

Someone broke them once

 

Lying in a bed of cold

Help is owed, for help he calls

Babylon, Jerusalem

No more joy down from heaven

Once he sang the sweetest song

Breath is lost and strength has gone

 

No one would help him to come back again for the kingdom come

No one would help him to come back again for the kingdom come

 

There are no more souls upon here

There are no more souls all across the land

There is nothing left around here

Bonfires beside the streets and still no end

The statue garden, cold bloodless flesh

I’m the moving one, I’m the stepping one

I can hear a laughter, someone’s having fun

They invite me to their cruising dark

And I enter the room…

Walking through the polystyrene corridors…

Searching for reflections…

 

Somebody help him to come back again for the kingdom come

No one would help him to come back again for the kingdom come

And when the anger’s gone away

You know we’re gonna wait for you again

Somebody help him to come back again for the kingdom come

Somebody… somebody… somebody…
