[Verse 1]
When your whole world is going mad
Just sit back and watch
And it won't seem so bad

Remember the love that once you’d known
It helps pass the days
And you won't be alone

[Chorus]
A shine on the horizon
Betrays the darkened sky
But I don't dream of power
Spending hours beneath lantern light

[Verse 2]
And why do they fight? Do they even know?
Since reason fell
From out of season long ago

Here passes one more abandoned child
And here stays a crooked man
Smiling a crooked smile

[Chorus]
A shine on the horizon
Betrays the darkened sky
But I don’t hope for power
Spending hours beneath lantern light
