Flowers for the Silverman

Capsule was diving the temperature rising Was hardly

Surprising his tears turned to steam in the blink of an eye

Just the hint of a cry Baby knew he was dying he knew he had

Failed And the mountainside opened a moment to pray for all

The souls he'd come to save Now he couldn't save himself

That's the way the world goes round It spins so fast It made

Him giddy sucking all the power from the Silver Man

Clouds formed a halo the sky turned to day glo in red and

In yellow The smoke spread for miles They stood back and

Waited then moved armour plated a night and a day cutting

Silver Man free But guns were sheathed he'd long stopped

Breathing They carried him away

No one saw the priest

Scamper through the darkness clutching at a package wading

Through the wreckage Scatter Scattered flowers for the Silver Man

Scientists raised hell and smashed all their razors

Tried chainsaws tried lasers could not leave a mark

Then sweat on the hotlines 'If Silver Man's hostile

Point all of your missiles up in the sky ' And eyes watched

For armies on lonely horizons and down in crowded cities

A multi coloured multi lingual vigil through the day and

Through the night Suffer Suffered hours for the silver men

Down in the garden hands clutching a garland the Silver Man's

Solemn but he's trying to smile Aware of his failure the world

Still in danger He takes comfort from angels They tell him

'You tried ' But Silver Man knows there's no hope anymore

The sky is getting darker it promises a shower Showers for the

Silver Man Promnezh Nivarrh
