Here now, don't make a sound Say, have you heard the news today? One flag was taken down To raise another in its place A heavy cross you bear A stubborn heart remains unchanged No harm, no life, no love No stranger singin' in your name But maybe the season The colors change in the valley skies Dear God, I've sealed my fate Runnin' through hell, heaven can wait Long road to ruin there in your eyes Under the cold streetlights No tomorrow, no dead end in sight Let's say we take this town No king or queen of any state Get up to shut it down Open the streets and raise the gates I know a wall to scale I know a field without a name Head on without a care Before it's way too late Maybe the season The colors change in the valley skies Oh God, I've sealed my fate Runnin' through hell, heaven can wait Long road to ruin there in your eyes Under the cold streetlights No tomorrow, no dead end Long road to ruin there in your eyes Under the cold streetlights No tomorrow, no dead end in sight For every piece to fall in place Forever gone without a trace Your horizon takes its shape No turnin' back, don't turn that page Come now, I'm leavin' here tonight Come now, let's leave it all behind Is that the price you pay Runnin' through hell, heaven can wait Long road to ruin there in your eyes Under the cold streetlights No tomorrow, no dead ends Long road to ruin there in your eyes Under the cold streetlights No tomorrow, no dead ends Long road to ruin there in your eyes Under the cold streetlights No tomorrow, no dead end in sight
