[Verse 1]
Clouda - heard that you were coming
Saw your name kissing lips deep into the day
Closer, got to get to see you
Even though I fear you, I can't look away

[Pre-Chorus]
The Element of Fate, he gave you our keys to the city
Then he left the gate wide open for you
(For you to see me, see me, see me)
Your heart of violence silenced me with beating, brutal beauty
Oh, you can't take me home
(But you can have me, have me)

[Chorus]
If silence is a crime, I'm guilty (save the vapour)
No tears will stop the drought
(All the grey-sky dreams are gone)
The reign of water gone could fill me (maybe later)
But the water well has dried out

[Verse 2]
Fragile empire built on clay
Winter chill could kill you on a summer's day
And it's fitting to be fitting
So I can bite my tongue and hold back what I say
[Pre-Chorus]
The President of Hate, he said that we must do our duty
But he left the gate wide open for you
(For you, for you, for you...)
Your heart of violence silenced me with beating, brutal beauty
Oh you can't take me home
(But you can have me, have me)

[Chorus]
If silence is a crime, I'm guilty (save the vapour)
No tears will stop the drought
(All the grey-sky dreams are gone)
The reign of water gone could fill me (maybe later)
But the water well has dried out

[Bridge]
The years before I saw you, filled with little things
Then you fell from the sky and tore up everything
You pulled the rain-clouds over, turning day to night
You must have laughed, as we stood dazzled by the sight

[Verse 3]
Soldier, you said the war was won
Turned the soil to dust and so much undone
Colder, you flew into the sun
You drank the seasons dry and left us with none
[Chorus]
If silence is a crime, I'm guilty (save the vapour)
No tears will stop the drought
(All the grey-sky dreams are gone)
The reign of water gone could fill me (maybe later)
But the water well has dried out
