Lyrics Speak And Make Lightning - Tom Morello: The Nightwatchman

Speak And Make Lightning

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!
