he first thing that I saw as, the fisherman smiled at me 
Were empty people dressed in grey, floating out to sea 
The rain lashed down in darkness 
lizard blinked an eye 
And time stopped in the silence 
The small fish gave a cry

The next thing that I saw as, things were fading fast 
Were dreams of children's laughter, smouldering to dust 
The rain lashed down in darkness 
lizard blinked an eye 
And time stopped in the silence 
The small fish gave a cry

The last thing that I saw as, my life passed by 
Were fields of empty people, laying down to die 
The rain lashed down in darkness 
lizard blinked an eye 
And time stopped in the silence 
To watch the burning sky.
