DUEL
lyrics: J. Morse © 1984
Another word is spoken, a thought driven home
Cast away like the refuse of a war
Another dream is dying, another speech to give
Another politician, can we live like this anymore
Newspaper says, he's dead and gone
Radio plays that same sad song
Trumpets blowing high above, heard miles around
Our only hope is crumbling, can we lose the piercing sound?
You think you've got problems?
Acid rain, street crime, hunger, dead air
You can't see the real ones
Arcing toward you like a flare
All turning quiet, a peace abounds
Red skies don't really mean a thing
Listen closely, you can hear the sounds
Of the children tiny voices, they sing
Fallen by the wayside, look into the mirror
Nothing there to stop us, we vanish into air
Falling... falling free.
Like wires... we touch
A spark... we sing
Like magnets... we touch
A click... a ring
Falling... en garde, monsieur
You will die today
Falling... touche, I've fallen
Pray for me.
