Lyrics
Let It Come Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some men are made of steel and blood
Some fall from heaven when their time does come
Some of us, we run from a shapeless form
And some men, they hide from a howling storm
Now I will wander through the falling flames
And I will drown in the burning rain
Sha la la la la la la, let it come down
Sha la la la la la la, let it come down
There is a place with nothing to gain
There lies the lover who has broken no chain
He sits by the window and he stares at the dark
She feels for the knife that will split his heart
Now we were betrayed in the cold, black pain
And a fire will rain down again and again
Sha la la la la la la, let it come down
Sha la la la la la la, let it come down
