Dominion / Mother Russia

 

In the heat of the night

In the heat of the day

When I close my eyes

When I look your way

When I meet the fear that lies inside

When I hear you say

In the heat of the moment

Say, say, say:

 

Some day, some day, some day

Dominion!

Come a time

Some day, some day, some day

Dominion!

Some say prayers

I say mine

 

In the light of the fact

On the lone and level

Sand stretch far away

In the heat of the action

In the settled dust

Hold hold and sway

In the meeting of a mind

Down in the streets of shame

In the betting of names on gold to rust

In the land of the blind

Be king, king, king, king

 

In the land of the blind

Be king, king, king, king

 

Some day, some day, some day

Dominion!

Some say prayers

I say mine

 

In the heat of the night

In the heat of the day

When I close my eyes

When I look your way

When I meet the fear that lies inside

When I hear you say

In the heat of the moment

Say, say, say:

 

Some day, some day, some day (some day)

Dominion!

Some say prayers

I say mine

I say mine

I say mine

 

We serve an old man in a dry season

A lighthouse keeper in the desert sun

Dreamers of sleepers and white treason

We dream of rain and the history of the gun

There’s a lighthouse in the middle of Prussia

A white house in a red square

I’m living in films for the sake of Russia

A kino runner for the DDR

And the fifty-two daughters of the revolution

Turn the gold to chrome

Gift, nothing to lose

Stuck inside of Memphis with the mobile home, sing:

 

Mother Russia, Mother Russia, Mother Russia rain down, down, down

Mother Russia, Mother Russia, Mother Russia rain down

 

Mother Russia, Mother Russia, Mother Russia rain down, down, down

Mother Russia, Mother Russia, Mother Russia rain down

 

Mother Russia, Mother Russia, Mother Russia rain down, down, down

Mother Russia, Mother Russia, Mother Russia rain down
