waiting underground , em repeat...

[Patti Smith, Peace and Noise]

if you believe all your hope is gone down the drain of your humankind
the time has arrived you'll be waiting here as I was
in a snow-white shroud waiting underground

there by the ridge be a gathering beneath the pilgrim moon
where we shall await the beat of your feet hammering the earth
where the great ones tremble in their snow-white shrouds waiting underground

if you seek the kingdom come, come along waiting by the ridge
there'll be a gathering beneath the pilgrim moon
where the [railroad] thunders

oh where we shall await the beat of your feet hammering the earth
and as the earth resounds where the great ones tremble
and your humankind becomes as one and then we will arise
in our snow-white shrouds when we'll be as one
but until that day we will just await in our snow-white shrouds
waiting underground in our snow-white shrouds
waiting underground
