Sunrise
It's a brand new morning
The bells have rang for your arrival
Summer heat with no reprisal
Standing at the platform of the station
A vieled mass of black and red
The Banners and the slogans
Tears and the whispers
Waking everything in earshot
Standing at attention in the sun
Time table for departure moving on
21 guns firing in a line
The crowd shutters
Echoes in the valley of my mind
"It's great to have you back now, welcome home!"
Knocked right off your feet in the unreletning heat
Judgement you don't understand
It's a language you don't speak
I'm patrolling
Arresting on first sight
Your parents were of the 70's
Children of the light
And then we say
Standing at attention in the sun
Time table for departure moving on
21 guns firing in a line
The crowd shutters
Echoes in the valley of my mind
But the general's on the phone and you're not home.
The rescue team's out looking for your bones
And they ship you in a box back from the zone
You're not alone
You're not alone
The conductor salutes the children on the platform with a wave
Standing at attention in the sun
Time table for departure moving on
21 guns firing in a line
21 guns firing in a line
It's a brand new morning
The bells have rang for your arrival
Summer heat with no reprisal
Standing at the platform of the station
A vieled mass of black and red
The Banners and the slogans
Tears and the whispers
Waking everything in earshot
Standing at attention in the sun
Time table for departure moving on
21 guns firing in a line
The crowd shutters
Echoes in the valley of my mind
"It's great to have you back now, welcome home!"
Knocked right off your feet in the unreletning heat
Judgement you don't understand
It's a language you don't speak

Arresting on first sight
