Days Of Fire - Nitin Sawhney

There’s no more trains going that way

There’s no more trains coming this way

You better make your way home, son

There’s something going down in London

Well, that ain’t gonna stop me

So I step out the station and what do I see?

Traffic for days

Let me walk a bit and I’ll see where it get me

Then it all went slow motion, everything slow motion

First came the flash of lights then the sound of explosion

And we’re still in slow motion, we’re still in slow motion

On these streets where I played

And these trains that I take, I saw fire

But now I’ve seen the city change in

Oh, so many ways, since the days of fire

Since the days of fire

Now I’m on the train, going that way

There were too many people coming this way

Delayed trains, delayed trains

Didn’t plan for death on the subway

So I step out the station

Brazilian name all over TV

Realization, I was on the next train

Could’ve been me

Then it all went slow motion, everything slow motion

First the flash of light then the rise of emotion

And I’m still in slow motion, I’m still in slow motion

On these streets where I played

And these trains that I take, I saw fire

But now I’ve seen the city change in

Oh, so many ways, since the days of fire

Since the days of fire

One day going that way, one day going this way

Those summer days, that crazy phase

Like a jack-knifed car on the highway

Just two mad situations

Fire on the news, fire on TV

A bus, a train station

The crossfire sights of destiny

Now it’s all gone slow motion, everything slow motion

The lights gone out, I feel no more emotion

I’m all out of emotion, I’m out of emotion

On these streets where I played

And these trains that I take, I saw fire

But now I’ve seen the city change in

Oh, so many ways, since the days of fire

Since the days of fire
