lyrics

Our grandfathers lost their hearing
under perma-grey skies of their own making
They never saw past feeding their sons and their daughters

A few generations transformed and conquered
a world that knew freedom for so many centuries
Industry breaks down, erodes just like rocks on the shore

Carry me home, dark water
Make me a part of it all
Fill me with child-like wonder
as you reclaim this wall we stand upon

There's ghosts in these ancient ruins (oos)
You can still smell the smoke from the hearth of the union
Just like their coal and steel
they melt into the sea

Could they have foreseen the end of production,
where the great rivers force their redemption,
and the bright sun comes back home to turn everything green?

How did we ever confuse
the disguise we imposed on our world for control?
We're at the mercy of
the wind and water and stars

Now it's absurd and silly
to think: I believed I owned my own body
As if one day I won’t waste away into the sea
