Send a heartbeat to
The void that cries through you
Relive the pictures that have come to pass
For now we stand alone
The world is lost and blown
And we are flesh and blood disintegrate
With no more to hate

Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in it's pain

Delivered from the blast
The last of a line of lasts
The pale princess of a palace cracked
And now the kingdom comes
Crashing down undone
And I am a master of a nothing place
Of recoil and grace

Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in it's pain

Time has stopped before us
The sky cannot ignore us
No one can separate us
For we are all that is left
The echo bounces off me
The shadow lost beside me
There's no more need to pretend
Cause now I can begin again

Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Strange
Strange
Strange

    +1 to jambalaya-ham. It sounds very Batman: "For now we stand alone" = Batman, the last hope against the turmoil "Does it make you happy you're so strange?" = obvious; he IS "Is it bright where you are?" = Is it nice up there in the tower from which you judge the rest of us? "The last of a line of lasts" = a last in a line of heroes "The pale princess of a palace cracked" = I think, yes, referring to Freeze's wife

    Regardless what this song is about, Corgan can write some bl00dy blisteringly-good lyrics.

    Silent Thriller noted that "This could possibly be an apocalyptic view of the planet." and I agree, it does fit that, too, which is why I reckon it fits the more apocalyptic "Watchmen" than the rather dismal "B&R" movie.

    +1 to myenemyisnear: "I wanted to stand up and cheer when Nite Owl descended from his craft and hit the street."

    TOO RIGHT!! So much did I, as well as when Doctor Manhatten appears god-like amidst the crowd. If this movie sux, I will repeatedly slap them that made it.
