Down to the black bridge of sighs,
She drains her head by the river,
Bowed to the father of lies,
Hangs on the ledge of forever.

She falls, she gets caught in the safety net,
She breaks, she mends,
In the safety net she starts doubting again.

Beneath the watch-towers and wire,
Armies that marched across frozen ground,
You're gonna call me a liar when I try to tell you what's coming down.

I fall and I get caught in the safety net,
I break, I mend,
In the safety net I start over again,
I start it over again.

Strung out in the cradle of grace,
Wiping the blood from the warm gun,
You leave no power or trace,
Shot like a bullet to the kingdom come.

You fall, you get caught in the safety net,
You'll break, but you'll mend,
In the safety net you start living again,
And you fall, you get caught in the safety net,
You break, but you'll mend,
In the safety net you start living again.
And you fall, you get caught in the safety net,
You break, you'll mend,
In the safety net you start living again,
You start living again.
You start living again.

Down to the black bridge of sighs,
She drains her head by the river,
Bowed to the father of lies,
She hangs on the ledge of forever.
Beneath the watch-towers and wire,
Armies that march across frozen ground,
You're gonna call me a liar when I try to tell you what's coming down.

You fall, you'll get caught in the safety net.
