Let It Come Down

Will the dust ever settle on us

The flames hiding in the smoke

Will there ever be enough

Or will the flames choke

Will our skins ever be dry

From the blood of the still-born

Will the rain wash our minds

And drip from our thorns

And as it falls all around

You see it hit the ground

I say to you let it come

Let it come down

The acorn loosens its grip

A wave farewell from the branch

Past the trunk it slips

And descends into chance

Your tree is near the riverbed

Where the black water sleeps

Will you sink into the ground

Or to the water seep

And as it falls all around

You see it hit the ground

I say to you let it come

Let it come down

The nails they're broken

The chips they're down

The times they have chosen

Your time has come

And as it falls all around

You see it hit the ground

I say to you let it come

Let it come down

Let it come down

Let it come down
