Heavy version
Long run the silent horses
Soft cry the shellshock houses
Wring dry the salty tears
of sailors and their lovers
Bring forth the silent movies
Kiss all the twilight crime
Bleach blonde the high wire groupies
Sucking up their time
Lungs crack the vapors anxious
Dead implicate your sources
Sit through their Sunday speeches
Delivered out in thin air
Rain rusts the creaking masses
Wind blows the temples down
Blood fills the exit tunnels
Streaking out of town
It's about time
It's about drawing near
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Unleash the armageddon
Draw down the hungry prayer
Kneeling for the final verdict
Judges draw you near
Let fly your model armies
Let fly the locust cry
Uncork the hidden forces
Amassing to a lie
And it's about time
It's about you here
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
I need time
To find your soul
To find your lie
Blue skies bring tears
Until I go blind
Shake loose the huddled masses
Spit on the urgent armies
Cracked tooth the fading roses
Frozen since your burn
Fire all your dead tree soldiers
Shoot down these skeletal bells
I don't know means to crisis
That doesn't go through hell
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears

Other Info:
This song was first played during "The Arising" club tour, which marked the return of Jimmy Chamberlin to the band.
It is one of the several versions of the song. It has lyrics closest to The Arising! tour version lyrics. As the name
implies, it's much heavier sounding. It is unclear if it was actually recorded or finished up during the Machina 2
sessions as opposed to the Machina sessions. This is the same with many of the songs on Machina 2.
