The Lines Are Down

(album: Thunder In The East - 1985)

You cry, darkness listens
You hide, sudden sorrow fights at you
Black and blue

When fever builds inside you
Your body shivers hot and cold at night
Hold on tight

You know the power's out, you can't leave
Now that your heart is pounding energy

Shattered, afraid to show it
Don't let the crazy madness pull you in
Fight to win

Looks like your life is crashing
You're on the razors edge
It's hard to know, don't let go

The night is blowing cold
You can't leave
Twisted by silence and the agony

Lines are down everywhere
Something's under the stair
Ooh yeah, ohh yeah
Lines are down the razors edge
Cry for me

You cry, darkness listens
You hide, sudden sorrow fights at you
Break on through

Light's out, someone's watching
Looking for the images to cut and run
Load your gun

One shot, squeeze the trigger
Make them leave
Left in the night, the only enemy

Lines are down everywhere
Something's under the stair
