The Doomsday Book Lyrics

Oh back then you were something else like the bolts from a lightning storm
Overhead the blackened skies hung down from the weight of the world
Oh and when that rain came down and it filled up our empty mouths
Oh, when I screamed for you but you were nowhere to be found

Oh, there was fire that night and it lit up the skies like a glow
Oh and it burned our eyes and I wanted so much just to be with you
But that's when the sun came up and it semmed angry as it looked down
I knew that I'd probably miss you like I miss you now

Oh how much time's gone by and how little we have learned
Although we keep pinning for the love we're convinced we've erned
But nothing can give back what the dire has burned to the ground
Oh I wish I didn't miss you like I miss you now

Cover art for The Doomsday Book lyrics by ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead

I believe the correct lyrics are as follows:

Oh, back then you were something else, like the bolts from a lightning storm. Overhead the blackened skies hung down from the weight of the world. Oh, and that's when the rain came down, and (it) filled up our empty mouths. I would've screamed for you, but you were nowhere to be found

Oh, there was fire that night, it lit up the skies like a glow. Oh, and it burned our eyes, and I wanted so much to be with you alone (or love, not sure about this). But that's when the sun came up, (and) it seemed angry as it looked down. I knew that I'd probably miss you like I miss you now. Oh I'd probably miss you like I miss you now.

Oh, how much time's gone by, how little we have learned. Oh, we keep pining for the love we're convinced we've earned. And nothing can give back what the fire has burned to the ground. Oh I wish I didn't miss you like I miss you now Oh I wish I didn't miss you like I miss you now Oh I miss you like I miss you now.
