In a church in Berlin My patriot days are over and done In a church in Berlin My mission is over I have seen my last sun In a church in Berlin In a church in Berlin When all that is wrong is now going right In a church in Berlin I'm dancing with treason God help us tonite In a church in Berlin In a church in Berlin Sun is set Sun is set In a church in Berlin...

Canyon baby You're a little crazy You're working on some new songs But we're a little lazy And I heard you're back living In a car in Marin Looking for affection And a little piece of action But it's all All going wrong So canyon baby C'mon home You got a black angel riding on your shoulder And every time I see ya I get a little older And I know you got problems But I really wanna see ya Call me when you get there We'll talk about the weather So black angel sing your song And all the angels will sing along

On and on it goes like this 'til you save me We've done this before and I know 'cause you told me And the promise to stop was the one that you gave me You're calling me out but I can't hear what you're saying 'Cause I am the water that's rising I am the hunted wall that is falling and I am the white ship on the horizon And I am the peacetime after the war I am the water that's rising I am the border that is closing I am the legion without any orders And I am the peacetime after the war.

We're given to rumors Lies and deceit And my mission is over And my conscience is clear And the files are all empty And the lines are all dead And there's no rhyme or reason For the things that we did And how long? How long? And nothing is certain And no-one is safe And the rumors are true That we cannot be saved And now that I'm running Through the garden of souls My sword and my shield Have condemned me to hell. So I wait I Wait For so long So long This time This time.
