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
