You Can't Run Faster Than Bullets

Look hard can you see Jacob's ladder

Get ready to make your escape

And what you believe doesn't matter

Get running there's no give and take

Earth shakes and the boom's getting louder

No birds in the sky, disappeared

While faces in fear they surround her

Get lost in that dark atmosphere

There's no time for reason

There's no freedom here

You hear the cry, sweet mother mild

Can't save them all, but you can try

Don't sleep tonight, play hide and seek

It's not a game, no-one can speak

And it's so cold, where's God tonight?

Well there's no food, no appetite

You hear the cry, sweet mother mild

You'd give your life for any child

Well you can't run faster than bullets

No stopping that noise overhead

Dawn's agony hangs like a puppet

And everything turns bloody red

The shadows have turned into ashes

Wild flowers refusing to grow

No tombstone to say he who passes

There's no goodbye there's no hello

Full moon lights the darkness

Everyone is laid low

You hear the cry, sweet mother mild

Can't save them all, but you can try

Don't sleep tonight, play hide and seek

It's not a game, no-one can speak

And it's so cold, where's God tonight?

Well there's no food, no appetite

You hear the cry, sweet mother mild

You'd give your life for any child

You hear the cry, sweet mother mild

Can't save them all, but you can try

Don't sleep tonight, play hide and seek

It's not a game, no-one can speak

And it's so cold, where's God tonight?

Well there's no food, no appetite

You hear the cry, sweet mother mild

You'd give your life for any child
