Death in Midsummer Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Come on down from that cloud
And cast your fears aside
You're all here and there
And there's nothing inside
May God's will be done
In these poisoned hills
And let the devil be cast out on his tail
(Head)
[Chorus 1]
There was a voice that called me
There was a light that burned me
[Verse 2]
Come on and let's be sure
Let's not pave the way
Your friends have died
And their lives, they just fade away
Some worked the hills
Some worked in factories
Worked their lives away
And in time, you will see your own life fade away
[Chorus 2]
There was no time to go back
There was no time to go back
(Come on)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
They were in hills
They were in factories
They are in graves now
They were in debt to themselves
And what? Is it paid off now?
[Outro]
I go around and I feel how it fades
I walk around and I see what's fading
Walk around and you'll see how it fades
Walk around and you'll see what's faded
