You awoke in a burning paperhouse    from the infinite fields    of dreamless sleep    You return to Tiannammen    an eyewitness in a shroud    to see them fall, feel them yield    reliving the terror of the crowd    Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow    just for a moment I seemed to know    Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow    I seemed to know the ghost in you       The whisper of your scream    sighed through the air    and faith-the flag is torn and frayed    inferno heat, glory in flame    love was beaten and betrayed       In every step I hear your sobbing    dare I break the shade with one caress?    dare I trespass to lift the veil    to touch the lips so soft and frail?       Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow    I seemed to know the ghost in you       Your captive heart, the belief you share    with a kiss eternal, the spirits of the square       Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow    hope remains with the ghost in you    Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow    I seemed to know the ghost in you       don't let it blow    the ghost in you    the ghost in you
