Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One sound, one single sound
One kiss, one single kiss
A face outside the window pane
However did it come to this?
[Verse 2]
A man who ran, a child who cried
A girl who heard a voice that lied
The sun that burned a fiery red
The vision of an empty bed
[Verse 3]
The use force, he was so tough
She'll soon submit, she's had enough
The march of fate, the broken will
Someone is lying very still
[Verse 4]
He has laughed and he has cried
He has fought and he has died
He's just the same as all the rest
He's not the worst, and he's not the best
[Verse 5]
And still this ceaseless murmuring
The babbling that I brook
Seas of faces, eyes upraised
The empty screen, the vacant look
[Verse 6]
Man in black on a snow white horse
Pointless life has run its course
The red rimmed eyes, the tears still run
As he fades into the setting sun
