In The Distance

Covered under blankets
Hands upon my ears
Wishing I were elsewhere
Hiding from my fears
Out of sight, flash of light
Rumbling rolling in
Tell me now, is this the end
How it all begins?

In the distance I can hear the trains

Boots upon the pavement
Marching to the beat
They may still deny it
I know what they seek
Glorified, made-up dream
White man's paradise
This is now, this is real
How it all begins

In the distance I can see the flames

(When they come for me)
(When they come for me)
When they come for me
I know what to do
When they come for me
I won't wait for you
When they come for me
I will never plead
When they come for me
Believe me, I won't need
Your thoughts and prayers
If you take action
You better do it now

In the distance I can hear the rain

Ooo-oo
(In the distance)
Ooo-oo
(In the distance)
Ooo-oo
(In the distance)
Ooo-oo
In the distance I can see the flames
Hear the rain, hear the rain, in the distance

(Take action now)
Take action now!
Take action now!
Take action now!
