ON a tidal wave I stand
Perhaps of me you ve heard
With a storm cloud in my hand
I ve come dispensing Word
OF your company I ve tired
Your welcome here is worn
It s you who lit this cradle pyre
It is you who woke this storm
It is you who woke this storm
*
* *
SO I do this with regret
* *
But you ve left me little choice
* *
When your mouth is full of threats
When you speak you use my voice
When you speak you use my voice
*
OH, child, where will you run
*
When the world s on fire?
Old man, see what you ve done,
*
as the flames grow higher
