When soldiers spoil your sleep
And writers steal your dreams
Don't strain to hear the screams

When the light goes out
When the light goes out

Pain was all you knew
But I think you're coming through
Like applause inside a zoo

When a lion gets out
When a lion gets out

When shadows take your hand
And mist is on the land
Hold on to your minds

'Til the Christ comes back
'Til the Christ comes back
'Til the Christ comes back
'Til the Christ comes back
'Til the Christ comes back
'Til the Christ comes back
'Til the Christ comes back
'Til the Christ come back
'Til the Christ come back
'Til the Christ come back
