help is on the way


i have my mother's dreams
i have my father's eyes
you can't take that from me
just go ahead and try ---

the cursed city sleeps - watch ions in the sky
preparing to unleash - let loose a mighty cry

can nobody save us
will anyone try ---
the pyre is burning
the severance is dying

and all along they say it ---

help is on the way (they said - they said)
help is on the way (they said - they said)

hold my hand - to help see - right there in front of me

help is on the way ---

five thousand feet below
as black smoke engulfs the sky
the ocean floor explodes
eleven mothers cry ---

my bones all resonate
a burning lullaby
you can't take that from me

just go ahead and try ---

she stands at the shoreline
with hands in the air
her words miss the dark light
does anyone care ---

and all along they say it ---

help is on the way (they said - they said)
help is on the way (they said - they said)

hold my hand - to help see - right there in front of me

help is on the way ---

right here - right here ---
right here - right here ---
right here - right here ---

choking on the black gold
upon which we rely
we keep actions in the attics
to see cameras in the sky

help is on the way (they said - they said)
help is on the way (they said - they said)

we were told just to sit tight
cause somebody will soon arrive
help is on the way ---

but it never came - it never came ---

help is on the way (they said - they said)
help is on the way (they said - they said)

hold my hand - to help see - right there in front of me

help is on the way - on the way ---
