the time had come, the deal went down    there were signs all around the town    and for the first time we all looked around    and we gathered as the sun went down    along with the sky       we found a spot up on Old Town Hill    where the trees turned white and the grass stood still    and for a moment took a breath without regret    as we waited for what would come next    and Janie held my hand       she said ìwhat if there is something that I have to do before I die?î    then she held me and she kissed me in the moment she began to cry    for her last time       chorus       and the band was playing thunder    and the sky was throwing flame    and we danced in the stream of a poetís dream    on the day the judgement came    on the day of the judgement       tumbling fury, the sky it gleamed    flashing shades the world had never seen    and the hill began to shake and roll    to the rhythm of the human soul    never known before       some were scared, some were broken-hearted    but the rest of us we got the party started    and we feasted on a meal to meet the gods    and with the wine that we had saved for so long    we raised up our cups    and we shouted ìhereís to you and hereís to me and hereís to us my friends    let us live it for a while in style as we meet our end    as we meet our end      chorus       and the band played on and we danced all night    underneath the shattered moon and the falling sky    and our souls burned bright like the summertime    cause summer would come no more       the world stopped turning, the sun melted away    erased our doubts, yeah it was judgement day    and the fire felt like a soft rain    and we didnít feel any pain    just the fleeting love of it all       and we knew that all the madness and the glory wouldnít stop until    it had swallowed up the party that was raging up on Old Town Hill    and I was dancing with Janie still       chorus
