Speak And Make Lightning - Tom Morello: The Nightwatchman

So stand in line

And state your name

The first one’s sacred

The rest profane

Speak and make lightning

And then confess

Her children rise up

And call her blessed

Shards of old

Scattered 'cross the clearing

The fears she had

Were well worth fearing

I’m pacing and worrying all night and day

Neither you nor your mama do a single thing I say

Speak and make lightning

And it will pass

Speak and make lightning

And I will stand fast

On an icy road north of Edmonton

Speak and make lightning friend and it will come

I’m gonna kiss your cheek

I’m Gonna hold ya tight

But you took your pills

And you’re out tonight

Speak and make lightning

Forget the rest

And enter the fields of the fatherless

I lost almost everything

So I’m almost free

I’s trying to tell ya

You wouldn’t listen to me

I’m driving up the hill to a place others call my home

Ugh, it’s just where I go

Speak and make lightning

And it will pass

Speak and make lightning

And I stand fast

Tell me how bad you really want it son

Speak and make lightning

And it will come!

That’s right

If you can’t stand me

You’ll hate my replacement

All my heroes are late with their payments

Speak and make lightning

Remember my face

And spoil not my resting place

Line to the horizon

First man to last

A warm autumn day

I lay in the grass

The house is quiet

A silent wind

Love covers all sins

Speak and make lightning

And it will pass

Speak and make lightning

And I will stand fast

In the attic

There’s an old gattlin' gun

Speak and make lightning friend

And it will come

Wooooo!
