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
