"Lightning Crashes"

"lightning crashes, a new mother cries

her placenta falls to the floor

the angel opens her eyes

the confusion sets in

before the doctor can even close the door

lightning crashes, an old mother dies

her intentions fall to the floor

the angel closes her eyes

the confusion that was hers

belongs now, to the baby down the hall

oh now feel it comin' back again

like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind

forces pullin' from the center of the earth again

I can feel it.

lightning crashes, a new mother cries

this moment she's been waiting for

the angel opens her eyes

pale blue colored iris,

presents the circle

and puts the glory out to hide, hide"

This is a tribute to Barbara Williams, a friend of the band who was hit and killed by a drunk driver after one of their concerts. She was an organ donor and the song refers to those who received her corneas (opening and closing eyes) as well as the fact her death and her mother's donating of the organs is referenced as the old/new mother.
