amazing things

white clouds cover the whole of the earth

concorde flies through the skies to the states

lifetimes in memory

flesh being born

but this is the age of invisible dawn

and the man from the government says show me a sign

the mood of the moment says have a good time

through stench and starvation

night never falls

there's flies on the skeletons

shapes on the wall

as i draw my latest breath

amazing things are done on earth

and the masters of flattery colour the trees

they walk on the oceans

put the town under siege

the king of humanity sleeps in despair

walking out in the morning with hands in the air

there's zealots in anger

divine extremes

emotional half-lives

disposable dreams

rumours of cease-fire inherit the streets

this is the war of the pure and the meek

as i draw my latest breath

amazing things are done on earth

these days are overgrown in truth

under the sun that's nothing new

but flowers still open

flowers still close

rearranged molecules

miracle cures

and i can still love you

call you my own

till the blooms turn to doubt

till the angels come home

as i draw my latest breath

amazing things are done on earth
