I took a good look out the window
The subway was coney island bound
The man to my left sat in silence
We watched the digital clock [?]
Fireworks off into the black lingering night
The cops at the turnstile grimly gathered
They kept a preyed eye on the sea
I wondered if they felt the power
They solemly held over these streams
I followed the crowd and walked to the beach
And thought of the strength of this planet
Considered the length of its life
Theres fire beneath [?]
The fire will thin us, drive the fight
It seems to be human its [?] spite
But im lucky to have no compassion
I gotta keep track of that light
The crowds life drunk and laughing
I started to cry at the sight
For all love forgiving just for the night
For all love forgiving just for the night
