lyrics

Can you hear it, can you hear that sound
The sound, the sound of rain on the ground
It's a rain of blood, a rain of tears
You can hear the rain pounding in your ears

On the TV, a new television show
For them, a horror we can't know

A gas grenade, renegade
They aren't able to evade
And we laugh at the dust cloud that has formed
I don't know what to do

I can't believe the world can't see
What is going to come to be
The people die, the children cry
And all we care is we survive
What about the people there
Who are front row to the bombs we share
Who are we to say to them
That they have a duty to defend the grey sky
The Grey Sky
Under which they die

The soldiers coming home from war
Mad at the state that doomed the fate
Of comrades they had loved

But on the bodies of loved ones across the field
You can see something starting to grow out and steal
The color of the blood that had been spilled
You can see
A beautiful lily
Raising its head up high
To the grey sky

I can't believe the world can't see
What is going to come to be
The people die and the children they cry
And all we care is we survive
But there is a chance,
Yeah we may advance
Maybe we can step out of our tanks
And see the beauty that has bloomed
It stands for more than me and you
It stands for the soldier
It stands for the man
It stands for the soul
Underneath our skin
It's a big reminder
It's a memorial
For all the civilians
Their burial
It stands
It stands
It stands
It stands
For the grey sky
For the grey sky
Under which they die
