New Lord

The sky's turning gray, here comes the rain;
Lightning comes reaching through my windowpane.
Silver bright light pulls through the sky,
Pulls open the world 'till it lays there open wide.
And all the little things go crawling back inside.
Thoughts, they return, bend all around.
They show me the way to that place there on the ground.
Forget all I've seen, and I'll lay without a sound.
A whole world is waving goodbye;
A new lord takes over tonight.
All the places I have seen, all the things I've said,
Coming through my mind again, brings a sense of dread.
A dark world at night, lay deep and quiet
Comes wide awake in the middle of the day.
Hey, can you hear voices so clear?
Cutting like a blade, through the empty air of night;
Drifting into space, moving up into the sky.
A whole world is waving goodbye;
A new lord takes over tonight.
One more day I could not wait, of nothing more to see,
Wandering through the world again, you could not ever meet.
Over and over we drive down the road,
Freeing from the things that would pull us beneath.
