A lonely empire, bound to one The breadth of gazing wonder, seized firmly Never to reach out, never known So hallowed we shall be, when we return to thee
Our whole world and all our needs Will wash away in time We conceal the shame Of helplessness
Where are we now I can't see through all the smoke and rain To find the point where death and our lives meet Some things I'll never know But I can see we have nowhere to go I hope that there's a place for you and me When we're buried at sea
As we go it alone Unknowingly gone astray A new tide is turning It's life that supports life Is still cause for rage
Our whole world and all our needs Will wash away in time We can build walls high and trenches deep Through we don't transcend We stalk our crypt alive Force fed borrowed time
Where are we now I can't see through all the smoke and rain To find the point where death and our lives meet Some things I'll never know But I can see we have nowhere to go I hope that there's a place for you and me When we're buried at sea
Years of sin unspoken Wounds prove a grave aftermath An irreversible path Silent oaths are broken Harvest a strike in defense A means to an end
Bring your storms in staunch brigades Do your worst, we're not afraid
Our whole world and all our needs Will wash away in time We can build walls high and trenches deep Through we don't transcend We stalk our crypt alive Force fed borrowed time
Where are we now I can't see through all the smoke and rain To find the point where death and our lives meet Some things I'll never know But I can see we have nowhere to go I hope that there's a place for you and me When we're buried at sea
