Dance While the Devil Sleeps Songtext
von Brandon Boyd

After fire comes the rain
The rain washes away
The blackened soil in the distance
The process starts over again
Near the pyres the women weep
The tears hiss in the flames
And in the smoke there′s a signal
For the sun's daughters to

Take cover

Unless you are
On the right side
Of the fight
But who is right
And where is wrong
This go on
Is easier
Said than done


A lonely mariner
Dreamt a little dream
Wherein he was the subject
Of an old song on the Tennessee
Keep eyes on winds and tides
Neither good, bad, right or wrong
There′s a storm ahead in the distance
Tell a stone won't wake me soon

Take cover

Unless you are
On the right side
Of the fight
But who is right
And where is wrong
This go on
Is easier
Said than done

Dance while the devil sleeps

After fire comes the rain
Look in the smoke for a signal
