Lightening Bolt and Future Days lyrics?

fortyshades

Not sure if there is already a thread about this; but did we already establish the lyrics? I can make out some lines, but I am failing miserably.

Just found these, courtesy of emsaaron on youtube -- he should get some kind of award for this. I listened to the song quite a few times and never would have been able to put all of it together so quickly.

Lightning Bolt
She comes down like a stone
But she don’t know where from she was thrown
Like a hurling meteor, from miles high
She’s looking for a place to land
She said “You got yourself some sand?”
And whatever you’ve replied she took as..yes
She comes after me
With her newly planted seeds
And soon you’re thrown down on your knees, and then you’re dead
Then before you know, the weeds are obesely overgrown
With all the wild seeds she sows in your sleep
You gotta know you’ll never let her go
She’s a lightning bolt, lightning bolt, lightning bolt

Always something, never nothing
Isn’t that the way we’re taught to dream….to dream
Oh looking through the worn out pages and stages
When you knew not who to be…yeah! YEAH!!!
Until the lightning strike sets you free!! Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!!!
You gotta know you’ll never let her go
She’s a lightning bolt, lightning bolt, lightning bolt
Crashing stormy waves erode her shoreline everyday
Until the castle of her ways turns to sand
Then before you know, the weeds are obesely overgrown
With all the wild seeds she sows in your sleep
And with no repair in sight there is
No God with such might
As you open her world…wide with such a view
And your efforts to arrive
As she finally decides
That all her problems, they will die with you.
She’s a lightning bolt
Never let her go

Thanks! Intersting lyrics. Remind a bit of Breakerfall and Force of Nature. Wonder why they choose this song as their album title. (They have never done this before.) Is this maybe linked to the Greek mythology of Cyclopes? (I am going to do some research here.)

Thanks man

My attempt of FD:

If I ever were to lose you, I’d surely lose myself
Everything I have found here,
I’ve not found by myself
Try, and sometimes you’ll succeed,
To make this man of me
All of my stolen missing parts
I’ve no need for anymore (???)
I believe, and I believe cause I can see
our future days - days of you and me

Back when I was feeling broken
I focused on every...
You can’t keep this in the ocean
No there’s something out there here
All the complexities and games
No one wins, but somehow, they still play
All the missing crooked hearts
We may die, but in us they live on
I believe, and I believe cause I can see our future days
Days of you and me

The hurricanes and cyclones rage
The winds turns to dust
The floods they came and the tides they raised,
And the ghosts that became old
All the promises at sundown
I meant them like the rest
Even’s dancing (???) is to come around, before …
So persistent in my ways, dear angel, I am here, stay
So persistent, so alarmed, these decisions too good to be gone
I believe, and I believe case I can see, our future days
Days of you and me
You and me
You and me
