These words seem obscene now In the light to the racist heart Well the words are coming, oh the words are coming By day they are far too stark Well the words mean nothing till they turn to fire By who we become after dark You knew we had nothing In the silence of day I couldn't speak to you I had nothing to say to you Well the words are coming, oh the words are coming By day they are far too stark Well the words mean nothing till they turn to fire By who we become after dark Well the words are coming, oh the words are coming By day they are far too stark Well the words mean nothing but there's no questioning Just who we become after dark You know, you know We've got no reason to speak Come the sun, when it's done We've no reason to speak Well the words are coming, oh the words are coming By day they are far too stark Well the words mean nothing till they turn to fire By who we become Well the words are coming, oh the words are coming By day they are far too stark Well the words mean nothing but there's no questioning Just who we become after dark
