Letra da Música The Sum Of No Reason de The Flower Kings

The Sum Of No Reason

Red sails in the morning
Black smoke's here to cloud the sun
On target without a warning - No shelter nowhere to run
They promise a piece of heaven
We'll "sit by the side of kings"
Now looking like a crash-test dummy
Or a bird with broken wings

You don't know who sent you here
You can't see them pull the strings
I bet they've got a damn good reason
I hope there is someone listening
I hope what they say is true
That God can see thru souls of men
And all the blood upon our windows
Will be like teardrops in the rain

Black smoke rolling in and cloud the sky
Didn't mommy tell you now
That the big boys never cry?
No one's getting out of here alive
Dropped down in the frying pan
Together we will fry

Takes a lot of strength to stay insane
This is just the trail of death and I'm the bird of prey
I won't hold my breath for peace to come
This is just the devil's backyard
And God is on the run

Red rivers moving gently
Like mothers shed silent tears
Gods angels are swimming upstreams
Left singing to silent ears
They promised a place in heaven
We'd "walk by the side of Gods"
But we're still here with fractured wings
So you'll tell me what are the odds?

"Heaven is a place where you can rest your feet
Heaven is a place where wealthy people meet
We can sell you heaven - to the price of pain
Line up when you can 'cause prices go insane!"
