The air is thick, the sky is bruised and red A heavy halo hanging overhead The streetlights flicker in the sudden dark A single drop of rain, a neon spark The mercury is dropping through the floor You hear the howling at the cellar door Let the thunder break the wall Wash away the dust and bone Leave us shivering and alone Let it fall, let it fall The wind is screaming down the avenue Tearing up the ghosts we thought we knew The branches scrape against the window pane A frantic rhythm in the pouring rain The dogs are hiding out beneath the bed While something ancient wakes inside your head You see the flash? You see the crack in the sky?! The gods are throwing down their fire! Can you smell the ozone? It smells like... copper! It tastes like blood on your tongue! Dance in the flood! We are swimming in the static! Swimming in the static! The water rises past the broken curb A sleeping city that the gods disturb We watch the wreckage floating in the street And feel the heavy earth beneath our feet The sky is split, the air is burning bright We are the only ones awake tonight Let the violet lightning fall Let the thunder break the wall Wash away the dust and bone Leave us shivering and alone Let it fall, let it fall Let it fall... Let it fall!
