Somewhere in my world
the sun turns blue
some leaders going to
break down their promises
what a sad reflection
we paralized with fear
big man where are you now ?
where are you now ?
white doves are bleeding
white doves are bleeding
dissimulation - keep watch and ward
you might it for it now if god believes
believes in god
white doves are bleeding
