Neal Morse - Harm's Way lyrics

Burned by their fields on a cold stainless day Blown by the wind - they got nothin' to say I can't look the other way Just to stay out of harm's way Toes in the dirt - here's a fork in the road Blood on my shirt and a lump in my throat I can't look the other way Just to stay out of harm's way Pretty maids in a row Tried to hide from the cold With their heads held up high They're just waiting around to die The word resigned comes to mind The leaders race while we fall behind But they can't touch the sky They're just waiting around to die No they can't touch the sky They're just waiting around to die Touched by the gold as the moment is framed No one will look and so no one is blamed I can't look the other way I won't stay out of harm's way The Venus slowly rises in the night The people softly lit by restless moonlight And as the Jackal preys upon the Netherworld You can hear as she surprises and sings...RISE! And as the Jackal preys upon the Netherworld You can hear her as she rises and sings...RISE! Touched by the wind as the movement returns Now we begin all the lessons to learn I can't look the other way I won't stay out of harm's way
