Let's write a story of a title wave 
We run out of luck 
We run out of days 
We run out of gas 
A hundred miles away 
From a station 

There's a war and a plague 
Smoke and disaster 
Lions in the coliseum 
Screams of laughter 
Motherless children 
A witness and a bible 
Nothing but rain ahead 
No chance for our survival 

Just before the flood comes 
Just before the night falls 
Just before the blood runs 
Into the valley 
Just before my eyes go 
Just before we can't go any further 
Love throws a line to you and me 

I heard someone calling me from very far away 
Sister oh sister did I hear them say? 
Prisoner of this endless story of pain 
You hold the key 
Try to find the way 

And just before the flood comes 
Just before the night falls 
Just before the blood runs 
Into the valley 
Just before my eyes go 
Just before it all blows to pieces 
Love throws a line to you and me 

Love you better pick up your pace 
If we're gonna win this race 
Love we're running out of time 
Pull yourself out from behind
