When the sun comes up
In the nuclear sky
And the life we had
Has blown up and died
We will shed no tear,
We will skip no beat
And we will walk right down
The middle of the street
So let the power fail
Let there be no doubt
I wanna be with you
When the sun melts down
And the night goes black
We will take down the flag
And never look back
We will break no law,
We will be the law
And go hand in hand
Into the face of it all
When the sun comes up
In the nuclear sky
And the life we had
Has blown up and died
We will shed no tear,
We will skip no beat
And we will walk right down
The middle of the street
So let the power fail
Let there be no doubt
I wanna be with you
When the sun melts down
And the night goes black
We will take down the flag
And never look back
We will break no law,
We will be the law
And go hand in hand
Into the face of it all
Keep your eyes down, keep your head lowered
Keep to your self dear, do not tell a soul
You know it’s wrong what they’ve been sayin’
And you knew all along that I would have to go
Find the place where light shines on my reflection
A place where I can stand upon my own
Not down on my knees
Until then please
(chorus)
Meet me in the dark
Meet me in the shadows
Past the old graveyard
On Eisenhower road
Meet me where the storms
Blow out on their own dear
Meet me in the dark
Never let me go
I know everyone has their unspoken fear
That eats away their senses and their humanity
They carry all their secrets every night down to the river
And they try so hard to drown them
They wont do that to me
Cause I’m working hard saving all my money
And the tips in this jar will by a brand new set of wings
For my mercury
Until then please
(chorus)
I could never hide this little light of mine
If God made a mistake then I should die before I wake
Maybe it’s my fate to swim against this tide
Swallowing my pride
Keep your eyes down; say that you don’t know me
For I could not survive if they took you away
(chorus)
