FRAGILE                          STING





IF BLOOD WILL FLOW WHEN FLESH AND STEEL ARE ONE

DRYING IN THE COLOUR OF THE EVENING SUN,

TOMORROW'S RAIN WILL WASH THE STAINS AWAY

BUT SOMETHING IN OUR MINDS WILL ALWAYS STAY.

PERHAPS THIS FINAL ACT WAS MEANT

TO CLINCH A LIFETIME'S ARGUMENT

THAT NOTHING COMES FROM VIOLENCE

AND NOTHING EVER COULD

FOR ALL THOSE BORN BENEATH AN ANGRY STAR

LEST WE FORGET HOW FRAGILE WE ARE.

ON AND ON THE RAIN WILL FALL

LIKE TEARS FROM A STAR-LIKE TEARS FROM A STAR

ON AND ON THE RAIN WILL SAY

HOW FRAGILE WE ARE - HOW FRAGILE WE ARE.

ON AND ON THE RAIN WILL FALL

LIKE TEARS FROM A STAR-LIKE TEARS FROM A STAR

ON AND ON THE RAIN WILL SAY

HOW FRAGILE WE ARE - HOW FRAGILE WE ARE.
