There is a fire, burning in the ocean With death black smoke and devil red flames You can see it, burning from the valley, Oh you can see it from the high planes
Well they went drillin' Searching for black gold To add more dollars to their names Then one evening so suddenly and violent, There was an explosion they can’t explain
Now the deep water horizon Descends down to deaths door And at the bird’s foot They’ve lost all hope Cause oil is a driftin' For miles and miles Poisoning the Gulf of Mexico
But what of the eleven Men at the bottom, Who sank to An underwater grave? And while they were sinking And their lungs filled with oil, They must have been screaming, Screaming to be saved
But what of the eleven Men at the bottom, Who sank to An underwater grave? And while they were sinking And their lungs filled with oil, They must have been screaming, Screaming to be saved.
Come close, lay next to me I need to tell you something important
So stay close, remain next to me I need to feel important
Because it's your eyes I don't believe And my heart, you will, you will mislead Do you know the consequence that comes with having such confidence?
Holding all the weight in my life Then you turn and walk away from me
So what is this now, you ask of me? What's makes your pain such an urgency? Now I want out, so plain to see Once again my dear, a brand new tragedy
Holding all the weight in my life Then you turn and you walk away from me Holding all the weight in my life Then you turn and you walk away from me
Bleeding all the strength from my life Then you turn and you run away from me You’re bleeding all the strength from my life Then you turn and you run away from me
This highway's dark and empty. Just miles and miles of endless road. I've got a sickness pounding in my head. I'm at the mercy of the ghost.
What will it take to live as if I would not another day? To live without despair, and to be without disdain. How can I instill such hope, but be left with none of my own? What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life?
I sought after, after reasons to stay. I was lost, I was lost. Then the sky turned black, And the rains poured down. I was waiting, waiting to be found. oh, no.
How can I instill such hope, but be left with none of my own? What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life?
Then I would sing all that I could sing Cause that is when, when I feel that I'm not just counting time. Oh when I sing all that I can sing Maybe just for a moment things would seem all right. Oh when I sing, oh when I sing Oh when I sing, oh when I sing
Last night I dreamt that they dropped a bomb Oh the sea ran dry and the winds had calmed Skyscrapers fell, they all turned to dust, Their skeletons of steel were covered in rust
And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
Colours were drained straight from the sky And nothing living had survived The mountains were merely removed from the earth Silver and gold had lost all its worth
And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
I woke from the dream in a cold, cold sweat I was full of doubt and deep regret, Suddenly it was so clear to me; There was nothing left in which to believe
And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
Sorrowing man, look how worn you've become, You once were Lord of the baron sea There’s blood on our hands, in this perfect madness, you're living on borrowed time
Oh how you have lost your way Oh how you have lost your way
There's no sympathy for we don't know the cure, Cause what you've got, well it runs too pure But you've lived and breathed more than any man I know But you're not done, oh, at least, I hope
Oh how you have lost your way Oh how you have lost your way In this life what we have made together Oh how you have lost your way
Oh how you have lost your way Oh how you have lost your way
Come close, lay next to me I need to tell you something important
So stay close, remain next to me I need to feel important
Because it's your eyes I don't believe And my heart, you will, you will mislead Do you know the consequence that comes with having such confidence?
Holding all the weight in my life Then you turn and walk away from me
So what is this now, you ask of me? What's makes your pain such an urgency? Now I want out, so plain to see Once again my dear, a brand new tragedy
Holding all the weight in my life Then you turn and you walk away from me Holding all the weight in my life Then you turn and you walk away from me
Bleeding all the strength from my life Then you turn and you run away from me You’re bleeding all the strength from my life Then you turn and you run away from me
O' sister, What's wrong with your mind? You used to be, so strong and stable.
My sister, What made you fall from grace? I'm sorry that I, was not there to catch you. What have the demons done? What have the demons done with the luminous light, That once shined from your eyes? What makes you feel so alone? Is it the whispering ghosts, that you fear the most?
But the blackness in your heart won't last forever. I know it's tearing you apart, But it's a storm you can weather.
O' sister, Those lines etched in your hands They're hardened and rough Like a road map of sorrow
My sister, There is a sadness on your face. You're like a motherless child, whose longing for comfort.
What's running through your veins, that's causing you such pain? Does it have something to do, with the pills they gave to you? What is eating at your soul? Was it the whispering ghost, that left you out in the cold?
But the blackness in your heart, won't, last forever. I know it's tearing you apart But it's a storm you can weather.
I've been up for days, Trying to find a way to write this confession down. Seems every line I write's amiss, At least this I'll admit. For what I've done I am not proud. But there's no need to pretend, No need for innocence. I've got to be honest now.
My verdict has come in, It says I'm guilty for my sins this time. I thought I could escape, But then I finally felt the weight, Of my crimes. It's passion. It's not love. Infatuation never ends up right. At least I won't be alone tonight. 'Cuz I don't want to be alone tonight.
The prosecution rests, With convincing evidence. It seems I've been deceived. So now I stand alone and wait for the first stone, To be cast upon me.
My verdict has come in, It says I'm guilty for my sins this time. I thought I could escape, But then I finally felt the weight of my crimes. It's passion. It's not love. Infatuation never ends up right. At least I won't be alone tonight. 'Cuz I don't want to be alone tonight. If convicted, I will surely do my time.
At least I won't be alone tonight. 'Cuz I don't want to be alone tonight.
