New Lord

The sky’s turning gray, here comes the rain;
Lightning comes reaching through my windowpane
Silver bright light pulls through the sky
Pulls open the world 'till it lays there open wide
And all the little things go crawling back inside
Thoughts, they return, bend all around
They show me the way to that place there on the ground
Forget all I’ve seen, and I’ll lay without a sound
A whole world is waving goodbye;
A new lord takes over tonight
All the places I have seen, all the things I’ve said
Coming through my mind again, brings a sense of dread
A dark world at night, lay deep and quiet
Comes wide awake in the middle of the day
Hey, can you hear voices so clear?
Cutting like a blade, through the empty air of night;
Drifting into space, moving up into the sky
A whole world is waving goodbye;
A new lord takes over tonight
One more day I could not wait, of nothing more to see
Wandering through the world again, you could not ever meet
Over and over we drive down the road
Freeing from the things that would pull us beneath
