COLD STEEL SKY song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

based on a translation of "Spleen" by Charles Baudelaire


When the cold steel sky
hangs over me
and the dusk surrounds the world
making day infinity

When the earth turns into jail
and hope becomes a bat
beating wings against the wall
I will know where I am at

Cold steel sky
cold steel sky
I know why
cold steel sky

When the rain is like a train
and the teardrops prison bars
and the spiders swarm my brain
spinning webs between the stars

and the bells peal out in rage
and even heaven is a cage
and ghosts without a country
take their place upon the stage

Cold steel sky
cold steel sky
hear her cry
cold steel sky

And without the sound of drums
the hearses pass before my soul
hope defeated anguish wins
and the night is in control

the flags are planted in my skull
blacker than the black of black
this is the end of miracle
she is never coming back

cold steel sky
cold steel sky
can’t deny
the cold steel sky
