TITLE. LYRICS

Unseen version

(Waiting for) the ice age

Scratching out atrocity
Splintered in the sand
In a death shroud looking back
Walking hand in hand
Draw the lines onto your face
To make it look brand new
Nothing here will fit in place
To screen the likes of you

Stranded in hostility
Buried further down
Waiting in a churchyard
For the sons to come around
Burning down conventions now
To give me all the proof
Nothing here will hold somehow
To give a glimpse of truth

Searching for some other life
To hide behind you door
On a strange wave plunging down
With hopes for little more
Someone might have changed somewhere
To bring us into line
All so near to hit and run
To cut the gaps in time

Waiting for the cold to come
To face one final stand
Viewing scenes in black and white
Walking hand in hand
Reaching from a distance
To find some strength again
