Starlight

We never fear the night, we bring our own starlight

Dropped on the world below, wait for the afterglow

We never fear the night, we bring our own starlight

Dropped on the world below, wait for the afterglow

And in the dark they wed, we're dancing with the dead

And if the ground's been stained, colors run in the rain

Run away, no delay - do we have to show you?

Don't expect mercy yet, we don't even know you

Hear the press, nothing less - saying that we don't care

Understand it's the land and you'd have to be there

We never contemplate, we only offer fate

And in the night they arc, flowering in the dark

Filling the sky with red, till all their needs are fed

Then like the childhood tear they quickly disappear

[chorus]

Run away, no delay - do we have to show you?

Don't expect mercy yet, we don't even know you

Hear the press, nothing less - saying that we don't care

Understand it's the land and you'd have to be there

[middle 8]

[chorus]

Run away, no delay - do we have to show you?

Don't expect mercy yet, we don't even know you

Hear the press, nothing less - saying that we don't care

Understand it's the land and you'd have to be there

[coda]

IN THE WORLD OF DEATH AND MURDER

THEY'RE THOSE WHO DO THE DEED

BUT WAITING IN THE SHADOWS

ARE THE MEN WHO SEWED THE SEEDS

THEY MAKE THEIR THIRTY-PIECES

SELLING GUNS TO ALL WHO PAY

AND WHEN BULLETS PIERCE THE FLESH

THEY ARE SAFELY FAR AWAY

AND BACK IN SARAJEVO

A GIRL STOOD INSIDE THE ROOM

LISTENING TO MEN CALLED MERCHANTS

OFFER GUNS TO FORESTALL DOOM

THEY SAID THEY CAME TO HELP

WHEN MUSLIMS PLIGHT THEY'D HEARD

BUT WHAT THEY HAD

SOMEHOW FAILED TO MENTION

WAS THEY SAID THE SAME THINGS

TO THE SERBS
