The fisherman smiled at me Were empty people Floating out to sea The rain lashed down in darkness A lizard blinked an eye And time stopped in the silence The small fish gave a cry The next thing that I saw as, Things were fading fast Were dreams of children's laughter, Smoldering to dust The rain lashed down in darkness A lizard blinked an eye And time stopped in the silence The small fish gave a cry The last thing that I saw as, my life passed by Were fields of empty people, laying down to die The rain lashed down in darkness A lizard blinked an eye And time stopped in the silence To watch the burning sky.
