Strike Anywhere - The Crossing lyrics

I woke up screaming But no one heard The drying river shining to the breathing world What was I dreaming of? And I missed all the gardens All the animals' footprints fresh in the rain Now there's only the train, the beast gives wait Another master, another day In the borderlands Cities forgotten Borderlands Crossing over me So wipe the tears from your cheekbones And the blood from your fingers We are the ghosts in the theater of human rights Just beyond their security lights In the borderlands Cities forgotten Borderlands Crossing over me To the borderlands Rivers and mountains Borderlands Crossing over me This world is bigger than this Bigger than lines drawn by governments Illusions we're tracked by your eyes Always watching Just like the cameras twisting 'round this place Out 24,000 miles in space Always so cold and so clear But how do we get to the world from here? Crash the system's hate From the factory floor to the White House gate Crush the system's hate From the Maquiladora to the White House gate To the borderlands Cities forgotten Borderlands Crossing over me To the borderlands Rivers and mountains Borderlands Crossing over me
