In the heat of the night In the heat of the day
When I close my eyes When I look your way When I meet the fear that lies inside When I hear you say In the heat of the moment Say, say, say: Some day, some day, some day Dominion Come a time Some day, some day, some day Dominion Some say prayers I say mine
In the light of the fact On the lone and level Sand stretch far away In the heat of the action In the settled dust Hold hold and sway In the meeting of mind Down in the streets of shame In the betting of names on gold to rust In the land of the blind Be ... King, king, king, king
Some day, some day, some day Dominion Come a time Some day, some day, some day Dominion Some say prayers I say mine
There's a lighthouse in the middle of Prussia A white house in a red square I'm living in films for the sake of Russia A kino runner for the DDR And the fifty-two daughters of the revolution Turn the gold to chrome Gift ... nothing to lose Stuck inside of Memphis with the mobile home, sing:
Mother Russia, Mother Russia, Mother Russia rain down down down Mother Russia, Mother Russia, Mother Russia rain down
