Panic In The World

Nelson

In the cities there is talk of rain and fire

It was on the air today it almost filled me with desire

All our skies are gray they say the dreamers line the streets

Looking out from hollow houses rivers running at their feet

Oh oh oh oh there's panic in the world

Oh oh oh oh there's panic in the world

My love and I we escaped we left no trace

For they had raped both body and soul

The taste was much too hard to swallow

We ran naked through the cold

Above our heads in fiery red

The clouds they bled like open wounds across the sky

The wings of many nations falling burning turning

Trying oh so hard to die

Oh oh oh oh there's panic in the world

Oh oh oh oh there's panic in the world

We'll find an island we'll burn the maps

We'll lock our hearts and throw the keys into the sea

Let's be survivors they'll never find us

It's all behind us I know a place they've never been

In new horizons in golden swarms in comes tomorrow

It's thunder storms over the hill

The future fall beyond these walls

Destiny calling like the dawn a sweeter thrill

Oh oh oh oh there's panic in the world

Oh oh oh oh there's panic in the world

Oh oh oh oh there's panic in the world

There's panic in the world

There's panic in the world

There's panic in the world

There's panic in the world

There's panic in the world
