came for the fire

came for the fire

left before it was done

i'm yours till your heart's desire

till you tell yourself there's another one

i am frightened

you are silent

you're my religion

i was your science

is this the war of our alliance

have i lost my part in your dream

and i am standing at attention

there is no science or religion

your eyes in perfect cold defiance

and i have never seen that look before

you poor the water

i would haul the stones

all the iron and the mortar

and all the other dreams that we left alone

i am frightened

you are silent

you're my religion

i was your science

is this the war of our alliance

have i lost my part in your dream

and i am standing at attention

there is no science or religion

your eyes in perfect cold defiance

and i have never seen that look before
