the wind'll blow out your eyes
well this closet's not cold
with the embers in my hair
mama said the war will end
but then why do we sit and hide?
your candles will keep you warm tonight
when they knock your place
well this closet's not cold
with the embers in my hair
mama said the war will end
but then why do we sit and hide?
it's the blackest of the nights
and the moon won't shine it's light
and the streets stained red so bright
well this closet's not cold
with the embers in my hair
mama said the war will end
but then why do we sit and hide?
mama said the war will the end
but no not me i sat and stared
out the window to the streets
and saw men and women die
