The Dirt Lyrics


The crowd standing, suddenly a scream

You could hear the trigger crack

Suddenly blood, a human moan

A cloud of birds is rising

The pale face falls into a sleep

Help is quickly on the way

The crowd whirls, a buzz in the head

Red overflows into white

The clock slows down, time stands still

The silence of the square snuffs out the world

The frescoed balcony glows with emptiness

Silent is the bell that always moans

The faces of the crowd drown in tears

Lead has pierced the lungs of two

He has by now become a saint

Dirt remained where he ruled
