The wind howled, black smoke filled my path,
Some voice within kept shouting back
I set my watch, but sleep eluded me,
Supposed to live, but fate dealt a different decree
New day
New day - it's spring
Fire and wind
New day
New day - war is underway
And we drank the oil, we swallowed granite with coal
We slept through the dawn, set the day against the wall
We fought for peace, baptized love with lead
Threw her a bone, and yelled after her to come to me instead
New day
New day - it's spring
Fire and wind
New day
New day - war is underway
