panic in the world
In the cities there is talk of rain and fire, It was on the air today, it almost filled me with desire   All our skies are grey, they say the dreamers line the streets  Looking out from hollow houses, rivers running at their feet   Oh, oh, oh, oh, there's panic in the world  Oh, oh, oh, oh, there's panic in the world   My love and I, we escaped, we left no trace  For they had raped both body and soul   The taste was much too hard to swallow We ran naked through the cold   Above our heads, in fiery red,  The clouds, they bled like open wounds across the sky   The wings of many nations, falling, burning, turning Trying oh, so hard to die    Oh, oh, oh, oh, there's panic in the world  Oh, oh, oh, oh, there's panic in the world   We'll find an island, we'll burn the maps,  We'll lock our hearts and throw the keys into the sea,  Let's be survivors, they'll never find us  It's all behind us, I know a place they've never been   In new horizon, in golden swarms, in comes tomorrow It's thunder storms over the hill   The future falls, beyond these walls  Destiny calling, like the dawn a sweeter thrill   Oh, oh, oh, oh, there's panic in the world  Oh, oh, oh, oh, there's panic in the world  Oh, oh, oh, oh, there's panic in the world
