Lyrics Be Like Lightning - Seeming

Be Like Lightning

I’ve been told that love is patient
Like a sniper, like a snake
But I know that love is also blind
Asleep when it’s awake
And it’s tricky-love's a hippy
But it’s sure no pacifist
Love’s a storm that comes from nowhere
Black and unafraid to go where
It’ll birth you in an incandescent blitz
Be like lightning
Incidental in your fire
In your striking
Be the chaos love requires
Be like lightning
Love dismisses all the angry boys
It’s bored with the police
It electrocutes them, effortless
No thought of their release
That’s the kind of love that makes you
That’s the raincloud you obey
In the swiftly rising rivers
In the flooding of the gutter
Love will drown the world and wash it all away
Be like lightning
All the water and the fire
In your striking
Be the chaos love requires
Be like lightning (sudden)
Casting shadows in the flash
In your striking (summoned)
All that’s left is love and ash
There was nothing in the world before the spark
No light to give a name to the dark
Be like lightning (forever)
You’re just happening and happening
And striking (whatever)
And unraveling and dazzling
