There's a sniper on a hillside, waiting and watching, on top of the world today
There's no random violence, just another social problem, cop of the world for a day
Take the hate you've been saving for another day, use it before it's faded away
There's a light here growing, though butchered by darkness, something they can't take away
There's a cool soothing river, though the ocean is burning, time to change all my ways
Take the hate you've been saving for another day, use it before it's faded away
I remember the day I first saw you
Bloodied in the trenches I found you
On the very last day of the battle I slipped my arms tight around you
The danger had passed in the morning
Lay there alone in my bedroom
Not knowing if it was a dream or a warning
Watching it fading away
Take the love you've been saving for another day, use it before it's faded away
I remember the day I first saw you
Bloodied in the trenches I found you
The very last day of the battle
Slipped my arms tight around you
The danger had passed in the morning
Lay there alone in my bedroom
Never knowing if it was a dream or a warning
Watching it fading away
We lie here together just fading away
