So they came, one by one, there was never any warning
Blood out the stuck thick fields like it was gonna last long
And I saw the whole rise, I saw the whole thing fall down an old flash spun
A lattice of it reaching out

And I'm left holding my head looking down at every grave
And all millennia pass, just a flicker in a wave
And I've seen more villages burn than animals born
And I've seen more towers come down than children grow old

Cross the peaks, cross the marsh, cross your fingers for the last time
Pass out the blame to someone, and never step in upside
Nobody's asking why is your head bent down
So there's trillions lost, I'm dreaming of a different time

And I'm left holding my head looking down at every grave
And all millennia pass, just a flicker in a wave
And I've seen more villages burn than animals born
I've seen more towers come down than children grow old

And I'm left holding my head looking down at every grave
And all millennia pass, just a flicker in a wave
And I've seen more villages burn than animals born
And I've seen more towers come down than children grow old
