Studio Sessions: The Rising
Empty Sky |
I woke up this morning, I could barely breathe
Just an empty impression in the bed where you used to be
I want a kiss from your lips, I want an eye for an eye
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky, I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky, I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Blood on the streets, yeah blood flowing down
I hear the blood of my blood crying from the ground
Empty sky, empty sky, I woke up this morning to the empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky, I woke up this morning to the empty sky
On the plains of Jordan I cut my bow from the wood
Of this tree of evil, of this tree of good
I want a kiss from your lips, I want an eye for an eye
I woke up this morning to the empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky, I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky, I woke up this morning to the empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky, I woke up this morning to an empty sky
