Now we can say that nothings lost   And only change brings 'round the prophecy   Well now it's melting the solid frost   Was once a veil on greener landscapes we would see      Beneath my surface the water's heating   The steam comes up and out the tears you see me shine   For every strange and bitter moment   There was never a better time      For every pleasure exacts its pain   How you hurt me, how you were good to me   Beneath my window a mournful train   That makes me smile at my bad poetry      But beneath my surface a song is rising   And it may be simple well it hides it's true intent   We may be a looking for our deliverance   But it has already been sent      It's in the nightfall when the light falls   And what you've seen isn't there anymore   It's in our blind trust, love will find us   Just like it has before      They're sending soldiers to distant places   X's and O's on someones drawing board   Like green and plastic but with human faces   And they want to tell you it's a merciful sword      But with all the blood newly dried in the desert   Can we not fertilize the land with something else   There is no nation by God exempted   Lay down your weapons and love your neighbor as yourself      It's in the nightfall when the light falls   And what you've seen isn't there anymore   It's through our blind trust that love will find us   Just like it has before
