  • In the heat of the night
    In the heat of the day
    When I close my eyes
    When I look your way
    When I meet the fear that lies inside
    When I hear you say
    In the heat of the moment
    Say, say, say

    Some day, some day, some day, Dominion
    Come a time
    Some day, some day, some day, Dominion
    Some say prayers
    Some say prayers
    I say mine

    In the light of the fact
    On the lone and level
    Sand stretch far away
    In the heat of the action
    In the settled dust
    Hold hold and say
    In the meeting of mined
    Down in the streets of shame
    In the betting of names on gold to rust
    In the land of the blind
    Be, king, king, king, king

    Some day, some day, some day, Dominion
    Come a time
    Some day, some day, some day, Dominion
    Some say prayers
    Some say prayers
    I say mine

    In the land of the blind
    Be, king, king, king, king

    Some day, some day, some day, Dominion
    Some say prayers
    Some say prayers
    I say mine

    In the heat of the night
    In the heat of the day
    When I close my eyes
    When I look your way
    When I meet the fear that lies inside
    When I hear you say
    In the heat of the moment
    Say, say, say

    Some day, some day, some day, Dominion
    Some say prayers
    Some say prayers
    I say mine
    I say mine
    I say mine

    We serve an old moan in a dry season
    A lighthouse keeper in the desert sun
    Dreamers of sleepers and white treason
    We dream of rain and the history of the gun
    There's a lighthouse in the middle of Prussia
    A white house in a red square
    I'm living in films for the sake of Russia
    A Kino Runner for the DDR
    And the fifty-two daughters of the revolution
    Turn the gold to chrome
    Gift, nothing to lose
    Stuck inside of Memphis with the mobile home, sing

    Mother Russia
    Mother Russia
    Mother Russia rain down down down
    Mother Russia
    Mother Russia
    Mother Russia rain down

    Mother Russia
    Mother Russia
    Mother Russia rain down down down
    Mother Russia
    Mother Russia
    Mother Russia rain down

    Mother Russia
    Mother Russia
    Mother Russia rain down down down
    Mother Russia
    Mother Russia
    Mother Russia rain down

    Mother Russia
    Mother Russia
    Mother Russia rain down down down
    Mother Russia
