Waiting on the warehouse rooftop
Watching empty city streets as
Wind and rain destroy the world
We take for granted constantly
Kiss me as the sky splits open
Hold me like I’ll blow away
This could be a final moment
News of missiles flying over
Ocean water turning black with
Oil spilling, tyrants killing
Tectonic shifting, coastlines drifting
Kiss me as the sky splits open
Hold me like I’ll blow away
This could be a final moment
Marching down the street with
Thousands of strangers carrying signs of protest
That shout for freedom, echoing songs of
Pioneer dreamers that walked before us
If they sound the siren you will
Be the one I call to say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Kiss me as the sky splits open
Hold me like I’ll blow away
This could be a final moment
Or the dawn of a new day
