For a moment you were there
Wearing rose-colored glasses
You arose like the ashes
In the air
Floating through the nervous stares
Been this way since the beginning
Doesn't matter if it
Is or isn't fair
It's a shame you had to see it all
There was no chance to hide your eyes
Or let the curtain fall
You can't fight against the undertow
Its gonna pull you down
And take you where it wants to go
Wonder if it's all in vain
When they've gone through all the rubble
Will it all be worth the trouble
And the pain
By the time the sirens die
Will your little fire have ended
Cause the water killed the embers
In your eyes
It's a shame you had to see it all
There was no chance to hide your eyes
Or let the curtain fall
You can't fight against the undertow
Its gonna pull you down
And take you where it wants to go
