If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one 
Drying in the colour of the evening sun 
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away 
But something in our minds will always stay 

Perhaps this final act was meant 
To clinch a lifetime's argument 
That nothing comes from violence 
And nothing ever could 
For all those born beneath an angry star 
Lest we forget how fragile we are 

On and on the rain will fall 
Like tears from a star 
Like tears from a star 
On and on the rain will say 
How fragile we are 
How fragile we are 

On and on the rain will fall 
Like tears from a star 
Like tears from a star 
On and on the rain will say 
How fragile we are 
How fragile we are 

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one 
Drying in the colour of the evening sun 
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away 
But something in our minds will always stay 

On and on the rain will fall 
Like tears from a star 
Like tears from a star 
On and on the rain will say 
How fragile we are 
How fragile we are 

On and on the rain will fall 
Like tears from a star 
Like tears from a star 
On and on the rain will say 
How fragile we are 
How fragile we are
