A broken spell A wishing well whose waters are dry A warning bell A yellow ribbon too torn to fly Stone turns to dust Rusting metal, muscle to bone We're looking for a locust wind To carry us home Chorus: We believed in those words that you said You took a black heart and you painted it red We deceived ourselves every night As you took a black heart and you painted it white You painted it white A blazing sky A brazen lie you barely concealed A promise made Betrayed upon a sorrowful field Nobody learns Seems like everybody turns to the screen To watch it pass But not to ask, "What does it mean?" (Chorus) Now you're falling You're falling And you're falling And you're falling So here we are We're not so far from where we could be You've got a gun The one you say will keep us all free So free that you Can bomb a blue horizon to black Then steal away the day And never, never give it back (Chorus) Now you're falling You're falling And you're falling... 1
