Lyrics
Guess it’s been coming
We could see the signs
This trouble’s been mounting for a long time
A ruthless bandit that steels the light
A faceless villain with an appetite
Shattercane, shattercane
Who’s to blame, shattercane
Things will be alright I guess
If we can just find our way
Out of these dark, dark hours to the light of day
And in the struggle
We fight through the pain
Just got to hope that we lose less than we gain
Shattercane, shattercane
Who’s to blame, shattercane
We give thanks to the father
And we pray for rain
But sometimes our words are just a crying shame
Shattercane, shattercane
Who’s to blame for shattercane
