Kobo Town - Higher Than Mercy lyrics

Bomb blast, lightening flash First the rumble and then the crash Then the fire, then the storm Then the silent aftermath After silence comes the stir Then the harsh and bitter words Fist shaken at the sky: Empty heavens, no reply Chorus Birds drop fire Then retire, fly by wire Flames leap high but the birds flying higher Than shouts and screams Doubts and dreams Higher than mercy can reach Higher Higher than mercy can reach Those left in disbelief In doubt, in haste, delaying grief Clawing through the dusty hill But all beneath is cold and still Over stillness comes the cry Lost child left behind Holds a shred of his mother's dress And he's screaming for the rest High up in the atmosphere Looks like fireworks from here Laser-guided freedom falls Among the ruins blessing all After blessing shrieks the curse New husband fears the worst: Last nights loving eyes Stare blankly from the dirt
