There's a bullet in mid-air, I felt it run by my head
And as it pa**ed I heard it call out a name
And I turned to see if my time had come to fall around dead
In the line of fire, blood 'n' rain falls on all men alike
All fall on desperate days
Listen to the sound of life over d**h, ringing in my ear
An invasion of the brain, an intrusion of the heart
The hand that reaches out for he who cries for help
In the line of fire, blood 'n' rain falls on all men alike
All fall on desperate days
There's no hiding, no saying when destiny will point and strike her hand
We all fall short on desperate days
In the line of fire, blood 'n' rain falls on all men alike
All fall on desperate days
In the line of fire, blood 'n' rain falls on all men alike
Lightning strikes in a split second
Earth shakes and feet tremble
Now is the time
In the waking hour He will come like a thief in the night
We all live in desperate times
Blood and rain
