Capercaillie - Black Fields lyrics

From a window, a vision of your world Looks surreal in a blue and gray surround I'm here in a corner, a picture on your screen I'm a satellite beam, a bystander And I'm watching the ship going down With the deadliest cargo inbound Politicians, their axe is ground and clean Survey the scene in a well-rehearsed alarm Stand back from the shoreline with a silver dollar smile And you put us on file, leave an island To the curse of the spray and the spill Worse things happen at sea and they will And how many birds make a sacrifice in the black fields? How many words 'til we pay the price in the black fields? I know disaster grows without looking twice in the black fields All hands to the video, take a movie channel cruise Anything but news, all cocooned we climb the stairs Back here in the black fields, we hide behind the trees In chemical breeze, leave a call sign All the kings of the future will hear Civilization was here And how many birds make a sacrifice in the black fields? How many words 'til we pay the price in the black fields? I know disaster grows without looking twice in the black fields To the world outside There was nothing more to see And the story died And the demon keeps below the sea And we cried and cried and cried And how many birds make a sacrifice in the black fields? How many words 'til we pay the price in the black fields? I know disaster grows without looking twice in the black fields From a window, a vision of your world Looks surreal in a blue and gray surround
