A COLD DAY IN HELL

You can feel it in the echoes of a distant call
In the flaking ceiling of the dark school hall
In the faded ink on the carrier bags
In the crumpled pages of yesterdays news
In the broken ranks of the churches pews
And the fraying tatters of the town hall flags

It's a cold day in hell
You can see just by the cracks beneath your feet that all's not well
It's a cold day in hell
Well I guess that the day that would never come is here or can't you tell?
Cold day in hell, cold day in hell, cold day in hell, in hell

You can see it in the eyes of the drunk at first light
In the broken bottles that appeared overnight
In the junk food litter whipping up in the road
In the ageing furrows of the old man's frown
In the blackened clouds that threaten the town
Keeping it dark and keeping it cold

It's a cold day in hell
You can see just by the cracks beneath your feet that all's not well
It's a cold day in hell
Can you hear the echoes on the wind of a sad and distant bell?
Cold day in hell, cold day in hell, cold day in hell, in hell

You can feel it in the echoes of a distant call
In the flaking ceiling of the dark school hall
In the faded ink on the carrier bags
In the crumpled pages of yesterdays news
In the broken ranks of the churches pews
And the fraying tatters of the town hall flags
You can hear it in the clock that never keeps time
In the nervous chatter of the unemployed line
In the peeling poster you can see underneath
In the pool of blood where the victim had kneeled
In the shroud of mist that drapes on the field
And the clap of thunder as it tears through the peace

It's a cold day in hell
You can see just by the cracks beneath your feet that all's not well
It's a cold day in hell
Can you hear the echoes on the wind of a sad and distant bell?
Cold day in hell, cold day in hell
