Lyrics and translation
Original
Shower in the dark day, clean sparks diving down
Cool in the waterway where the baptized drown
Naked in the cold sun, breathing life like fire
I thought I was the only one, but that was just a lie
'Cause I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
I thought it was the 4th of July
Pale in the flare light, the scared light cracks and disappears
And leads the scorched ones here
And everywhere no one cares, the fire is spreading
And no one wants to speak about it
Down in the hole, Jesus tries to crack a smile
Beneath another shovel load
And I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
I thought it was the 4th of July
I heard it in the wind
Then I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
I thought it was the 4th of July
July, July
Yeah, ooh, oh
But now I'm in control, now I'm in the fallout
Once asleep but now I stand
And I still remember your sweet everything
Light a Roman candle and hold it in your hand
'Cause I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
I thought it was the 4th of July
I heard it in the wind
Then I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
Thought it was the 4th of July, yeah
Yeah, yeah
