The Light Dies Down on Broadway
He follows a small path running along the top And watches the tube bobbing up and down In the water, as the fast current carries it away
However, as he walks around a corner Rael sees a sky light above him Apparently built into the bank Through it he can see the green grass of home Well, not exactly, he can see Broadway
As he walks along the gorge's edge He meets a sense of yesteryear A window in the bank above his head Reveals his home amidst the streets
Subway sounds, the sounds of complaint The smell of acid on his gun of paint As it carves out anger in a blood red band Destroyed tomorrow by an unknown hand
My home Is this the way out from the endless scene? Or just an entrance to another dream? And the light dies down on Broadway
His heart, now a little bristly is shaken By a surge of joy and he starts to run Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Arms wide open, to the way out
At this precise point in time his ears pick up A voice screaming for help Someone is struggling in the rapids below, it's John
But as the skylight beckons him to leave He hears a scream from far below Within the raging water, writhes the form Of brother John, he cries for help
He pauses for a moment remembering How his brother had abandoned him Then the window begins to fade, it's time for action
The gate is fading now, but open wide But John is drowning, I must decide Between the freedom I had in the rat race Or to stay forever in this forsaken place
Hey John He makes for the river and the gate is gone Back to the void where it came from And the light dies down on Broadway
