In the cold dead air of a Saturday night
There´s a moonlit sky, but it don´t feel right
The warnin´ signs lit a spark inside
And you can´t let it go
In a flash we see with a primitive eye

That the elephant pacing the room has died
Whispered thoughts turn to wasted worlds
And everybody knows

You were caught in the middle of a knife fight long ago
Counting scars from the battle in your mind, you´re not alone

No, you can´t push us back without a fight no more
No, you can´t keep us running away, keep us running
No, you can´t see the thunder in a lightning storm
No, you can´t see what´s coming your way, see what´s coming

Reactors set to overload
And the dam of the river´s ready to explode

In thе smoke-filled air of a Saturday night
Therе´s a moonlit sky, but it don´t feel right
Now you walk the streets as a raging fire
Burns out of control
As the sirens blare, all the people are scared
An invisible threat´s hanging in the air
Now you watch your step where there ain´t just breath
It´s nightmare´s taking hold

You were caught in the middle of a knife fight long ago
Every day´s new reality´s a minefield for the soul
So immune to the damage, every night you take it home

Counting scars from the battle in your mind, you´re not alone

No, you can´t push us back without a fight no more
No, you can´t keep us running away, keep us running
No, you can´t see the thunder in a lightning storm
No, you can´t see what´s coming your way, see what´s coming

Reactors set to overload
And the dam of the river´s gonna blow

´Cause I can´t breathe, I can´t breathe
And an atmosphere catalyzed by fear
Our sons and daughters scream

I can´t breathe, I can´t breathe
And we can´t stand still while they aim to kill
Our sons and daughters dreams

No, you can´t push us back without a fight no more
No, you can´t keep us running away, keep us running
No, you can´t see the thunder in a lightning storm
No, you can´t see what´s coming your way, see what´s coming

Reactors set to overload
And the dam of the river´s ready to explode
The act is set to overthrow
´Cause the dam of the river´s ready to explode
