Cover my eyes
Meet me where
One step, two steps
Towards the morning
Past the door
Past the door
In the alley
Feels like the future
Looks like the past
Love her, love her
Love her true
Mother, father, son
Walkin'
What do I see
The face, the face
haunting me
Love slides
Eyes roam back
The scream of an angel
ln my head
Feels like the future
Looks like the past
Makes me wanna kill
Love her, love her
Love her
True
Mother, mother
Father, son
The shadow of a gun
I break my love
No fear is here
With a fist and a cry
Fist and a cry
Feels like the future
Looks like the past
The shadow of a shadow
The father and the son
The shadow of a shadow
Can never be one
Can never be one
The father and the son
Can never be one
In the shadow of a gun
