LIGHTNING ROD

I am waiting on a mountaintop For the moment that the sky will strike My apologies are forever lost Soon to ashes in a flash of light Miles away from me Hope is fading soon Gone forever it's a waste of time My intentions like a sweeter room only bring to me a fading light Locked up forever inside I look to the stars and ask why If they could just teach my dark heart to feel All I've saved (Oh why) is thrown away I am waning like a single bloom Lost forever in the storm of life My intentions like a sweeter room only bring to me a fading light Locked up forever inside I look to the stars and ask why If they could just show these wounds how to heal Here I am (Oh why) My last stand (Oh why) And I know For all the rising and falling there's nothing to show (Throw me down Throw me down) (Throw me down) It's been raining (Throw me down) and now I will pay (Throw me down) Woe is come to me (Throw me down) I am the lightning rod (Throw me down) I am waiting (Throw me down) On a mountaintop (Throw me down) Oh above me (Throw me down) He will strike me! Locked up forever inside I look to the stars and ask why If they could just teach my dark heart to feel All I am (Oh why) My last stand (Oh why) And I know For all the rising and falling there's nothing to show
