Help Is On The Way

I have my mother's dreams
I have my father's eyes
You can't take that from me
Just go ahead and try
The cursed city sleeps
Watch ions in the sky
Preparing to unleash
Let loose a mighty cry

Can nobody save us?
Will anyone try?
The pyre is burning
The severance is dying
And all along they say it

"Help is on the way!"
"Help is on the way!"
Hold my hand to help see
Right there in front of me
"Help is on the way!"

Five thousand feet below
As black smoke engulfs the sky
The ocean floor explodes
Eleven mothers cry
My bones all resonate
A burning lullaby
You can't take that from me
Just go ahead and try

She says that's the shoreline
With hands in the air
Her words miss the dark light
Does anyone care?
And all along they say it

"Help is on the way!"
"Help is on the way!"
Hold my hand to help see
Right there in front of me
"Help is on the way!"

Right there!
Right there!
Right there!
Right there!
Right there!

Choking on the black gold
Upon which we rely
We keep actions in the attics
To see cameras in the sky

"Help is on the way!"
(They said, they said)
"Help is on the way!"
(They said, they said)

We were told just to sit tight
Cause somebody will soon arrive
"Help is on the way!"
But it never came!
It never came!

"Help is on the way!"
"Help is on the way!"
Hold my hand to help see
Right there in front of me
"Help is on the way!"
On the way
