All the towers of ivory are crumbling
And the swallows sharpen their beaks
This is the time of our great undoing

This is the time that I'll come running
Straight to you, for I am captured
Straight to you for I am captured one more time


The light in our window is fading
The candle gutters on the ledge

Well now sorrow it comes a stealing
And I'll cry girl but I'll come running
Straight to you for I am captured

Straight to you for I am captured once again

And gone are the days of rainbows

And gone are the nights of swinging from the stars
For the sea will swallow up the mountain
And the sky will throw thunderbolts and sparks

Straight at you, but I'll come running
Straight to you, but I'll come running one more time


Heaven has denied us it's kingdom
The saints are drunk and howling at the moon
And the chariots of angels are colliding

Well I'll run babe, I'll come running
Straight to you for I am captured
Straight to you for I am captured one more time
