A very small (and a bit doubtful addition, if a native speaker would
confirm please):

SONG:
I looked at John and Mary
My father (?)
perhaps: my father [...] and got the gun

I saw a light shining bright
[drums; I can't hear a word!]
sounds like: brighter than the sun



[Can't get 1st line]
All around began to fade
Down the road... (?)
(?)
>
Hey, what was that, long ago?
....nowhere (?)
(?)...

[Here comes the first crescendo... and down to bass]
[Lilith bit]

So I followed her... a barbed fence (?)
There's a lot of feeling... away (?)
.... from day to day
When I saw the light

Some more rain... (?)
(?)
Remember, John, Mary (... afraid?)
emember, John 'n Mary were?/weren't? afraid
When I saw the light

Hey, what was that, long ago?
Out of nowhere (?)
(?)...

[Here comes the second crescendo... and a bridge]
[I swear I don't understand a single word here!]
t seems the line "Long time ago" is repeated twice in there.
(more things...)
[Now comes the part with the 'falsetto' sound]
[Nothing here either until]
Long ago... like a (?)
long ago ... like a bloom (?)
calling you? like a butterfly
(?)
....like a puppet fly
All around the people all (share?)
All around the people all fell
dead! dead!
OR:
All around the people all yelled
"Death!" "Death!"
[something else]
[More yelling, can't make it out. Lilith bit again]

So I went on a...
[Same as before?] (?)... away
.... from day to day
When I saw the light

Hey, what was that, long ago?
Out of nowhere [Not completely sure, of course...]
(?)

[Guitars and instrumental part with fast arpeggios]
[The flute also comes in now; I love this part!]

Aaaaah... aaaah... aaaah... [You get the idea]

[Bass Lilith parts again; back to the song]

So I ran... (?)
....day (?)
Remember, John, Mary... afraid (?)
When I saw the light

[Slow bass]

Like a (?)
Like a bird
Out of room
Like a puppet fly

All around the people will share (?)
(death, death?) OR
(their death?)
