Where Lightning Once Stood
Everything I've written lately lacks substance
I feel like a fraud
But I'll still perform them for you with four chords
And soak in the applause
'Cos I need to feel like you love me
So I'll be the pen for your desires
I'll be the ashes left over
The thunder that echoes the lightning
That started your fires
Everything I've written lately lacks heart
It's all mirrors and smoke
Life keeps delivering punchlines
But somewhere along the way I missed the joke
But I need to feel like you love me
So I'll paint a smile, it's tattooed on my face
I'll be your ivory tower, I'll build your Rome
And I'll fall from your grace
And I'll be the fire that burned brighter
Than you ever thought that it could
I'll be the forest that stands for millennia
No rivers or streams or springs
I'll be the flood
And when the lakes have all dried
And the forests have burned
When the comfort of darkness
In death has been earned
I'll be the echo left over
The thunder where lightning once stood
I'll be the remnants of love broken hearted
The shadow of good
Everything I've written lately lacks light
I feel shrouded in dark
My shoes with no soles, my jeans full of holes
And my sleeve lacking heart
But I need to feel like you love me
So I'll sew one in with crimson thread
I'll be the frayed edges under the seams
I'll be the words never said
And I'll be the fire that burned brighter
Than you ever thought that it could
I'll be the forest that stands for millennia
No rivers or streams or springs
I'll be the flood
And when the lakes have all dried
And the forests have burned
When the comfort of darkness
In death has been earned
I'll be the echo left over
The thunder where lightning once stood
I'll be the remnants of love broken hearted
The shadow of good
When the darkness is over
And tainted hearts sober
When night is defeated
And the truth's at your feet
It says on through the rapture
Your soul's for the capture
The angels will sing
As they welcome their king
Welcome home
(The angel's will sing)
Welcome home
You were the fire that burned brighter
Than we ever thought that you could
You were the forest that stood for millennia
No rivers or streams or springs
You were the flood
Now the lakes have all dried
And the forests have burned
The comfort of darkness in death
You have earned
Now you're the echo left over
The thunder where lightning once stood
Now you're the remnants of love broken hearted
The shadow of good
I feel like a fraud
But I'll still perform them for you with four chords
And soak in the applause
'Cos I need to feel like you love me
So I'll be the pen for your desires
I'll be the ashes left over
The thunder that echoes the lightning
That started your fires
Everything I've written lately lacks heart
It's all mirrors and smoke
Life keeps delivering punchlines
But somewhere along the way I missed the joke
But I need to feel like you love me
So I'll paint a smile, it's tattooed on my face
I'll be your ivory tower, I'll build your Rome
And I'll fall from your grace
And I'll be the fire that burned brighter
Than you ever thought that it could
I'll be the forest that stands for millennia
No rivers or streams or springs
I'll be the flood
And when the lakes have all dried
And the forests have burned
When the comfort of darkness
In death has been earned
I'll be the echo left over
The thunder where lightning once stood
I'll be the remnants of love broken hearted
The shadow of good
Everything I've written lately lacks light

The comfort of darkness in death
You have earned
Now you're the echo left over
The thunder where lightning once stood
Now you're the remnants of love broken hearted
The shadow of good
