And we all closed out eyes
Until the dust settled down
Blinding sun in the sky
An open wound in the ground
Steel, fire and stones
Before a mesmerised nation
United they stood alone
Facing the television
What lies ahead remains unknown
What lies ahead we face alone
What lies ahead will be
What lies ahead I have to see
What lies ahead
And they wondered how to face alienation
And they wonder how to build a safer prison
Was it a month to remember
Or just a bad day to forget?
Was it the end of the summer
A time two solitudes met
What lies ahead remains unknown
What lies ahead we face alone
What lies ahead will be
What lies ahead I have to see
What lies ahead
