We keep drifting on and on
across this barren wasteland
seared earth laid waste
on another plane of existence

blinding brilliant light
alludes to the illusion of serenity
so show me what it takes
to fall asleep on the eve of destruction

set ablaze like the plague in our brooding creations
look up and align with the fire in the skies

blinding brilliant light
alludes to the illusion of serenity
so show me what it takes
to fall asleep on the eve of destruction

cracked with the drought
something amiss in the bleak blissed out
song in our heads
completely depleted

blinding brilliant light
alludes to the illusion of serenity
so show me what it takes
to fall asleep on the eve of destruction

flashing fading in and out showered in sweet redemption
that final glimpse into abyss on the brink of eruption

[Byford/Quinn/Oliver/Dawson/Gill]

There's a fire in the sky
There's a feeling in the air
When the ground starts to tremble
The first attack is here
You won't stand a chance
When the missiles start to fly
They never tell the people
Till the holocaust is here

When the fire's in the sky
You'll be running for your lives
When the fire's in the sky
Prepare yourselves to die

Where, where are the shelters
They said they would be there
You'll need, need some protection
From the radiation flare
Don't, don't start a panic
It won't do you no good
You'll just have to wait
For the end of all mankind

If you're near the point of impact
There's nowhere you can run
If the heatwave don't get you
The shockwave surely will
There won't be no more heroes
There's no one left to fight
It's the end of our planet
We'd commit eternal sight

When the fire's in the sky
You'll be running for your lives
When the fire's in the sky
Prepare yourselves to die

When the fire's in the sky
You'll be running for your lives
When the fire's in the sky
Prepare yourselves to die
To die, to die, to die ...

Fire in the sky
out of the blue
and into the red depths,
Time for you and I
to try and fall asleep
in the bed they've made us,
All came crumbl'n down
tears in our eyes
as it rained confusion
the whole world has changed

I don’t understand
how one can kill a man
in the name peace,
that’s ridiculous

They say eye for an eye
so they fire from the sky
and they come out of nowhere
Time for you and I
to turn on the big screen
see what’s happnen'
And as those children die,
pawns in the game of
collateral damage,
The whole world goes mad

Standing here on quick sand,
the more we fight we sink
And vengeance gives us hope,
at least that what we think,
at least that what we think cause

As we make amends by
getting our revenge,
We sort nothing out,
just add to the doubt
and with God on both sides,
if death is justified,
whatever the name,
then we're all to blame

so as the spirits fly,
to honor those who've past,
we've got to get along,
while the time still last
Bury the hatchet deep
so we all can weep
and heal all this pain
so,so we can live again,
so,so we can live again 'cos

as we make amends by
getting our revenge,
We sort nothing out,
just add to the doubt
and God on both sides,
if death is justified,
whatever the name,
then we're all to blame
But I don’t understand
how one can kill a man
in the name peace,
that’s ridiculous
But I understand
that I will defend
my family from
both sides of misery

The introduction to his heartache began as a child
So it's no wonder that he grew up to be so wild
So he protected his feelings in walls he imagined
But castles crumble exposing the frightened child

Fire in the sky
Can't you see that all my castles are burning
Fire in the sky
Won't you help me now my castles are burning

In solitude he couldn't deal with his own existence
The burning questions in the castles have still remained
God only knows how he searched in vain for the answers
Now castles crumble exposing his naked flames, yeah

Fire in the sky
Can't you see that all my castles are burning
Fire in the sky
Won't you help me now my castles are burning
Did you ever see that my castles are burning

All alone in a sleepless night
Passing time with a runaway moon
Talkin' to myself
Wishing I was somewhere else
It's been too long since I held you girl
In twice a thousand miles
But my heart won't beat alone
I need the love I left behind

Hold back the dawn awhile
Things will all work out
Don't let this dream die
There's a fire in the sky
It's like the light in your eyes
Thinkin' of you
And I won't give up til your in my arms
Never give up til what's lost is found
Won't give up on your sweet, sweet love again

Now the night is dark with diamonds
And I'm standing inside the rain
Giving up your love
Was the worst mistake I made
There's a sound I hear in the distance
Seems it's calling out my name
Well I'll pay most any price
I just hope I'm not too late

Turn back the clock awhile
Things will all work out
That's what the dream is all about
There's a fire in the sky (fire in the sky)
It's like the light in your eyes
Oh, it's true
That I won't give up til your in my arms
Never give up til what's lost is found
Won't give up on your sweet, sweet love

Turn back the clock awhile
Things will all work out
That's what the dream is all about
I see a fire in the sky (fire in the sky)
Just like the light in your eyes
Thinkin' of you
And I won't give up til your in my arms
Never give up til what's lost is found
Won't give up on your sweet, sweet love

Fire in the sky, outta the blue and into the red depths
Time for you and I to try to fall asleep in the bed they've made us
All came crumblin' down tears in her eyes as it rained confusion
The whole world has changed

I don't understand
How one can kill a man
In the name of peace
That's ridiculous

They say eye for an eye so they fire in the sky and they come outta nowhere
Time for you and I to turn on the big screen see what's happenin'
And as those children die pawns in the game of collateral damage
The whole world goes mad

Standing here on quick sand
The more we fight we sink
And vengeance gives us hope
At least that's what we think
At least that's what we think, coz

As we make amends by
Getting our revenge
We sort nothing out
Just add to the doubt
And with God on both sides
Death is justified
Whatever the name
Then we're all to blame

So as the spirits fly
To honour those who've past
We've got to get along
While the time still lasts
Bury the hatchet deep
So we all can weep
And heal all this pain
So, so we can live again
So, so we can live again coz

As we make amends by
Getting our revenge
