I know you'd like
to hear a song 'cos
everything's alright
The temperature
is warm
The fire horses sleep
So gently comes
the night
You close your
eyes and stare
The ground they're
on is bare
But once it
was as deep
As wildest
giants dreams
It's no longer there
And all of our desires
They mirror skies
with flames
And smoke out
heaven's halls
And who was
that you called
They're no longer there
Here it goes again
Here it goes again
Here it goes again
What would you
leave behind when
all your fields
are dead?
When your territories
are dried out and
your cities drowned
and swept
What would you leave
behind when those
who bear your name are
born in that place
that you wrecked?
What would you
leave behind when
you're no longer there?
Would you sail
to distant shores
And hide within
the hills
And softly
close your doors
Pretend the
world is safe
Wait for heaven's call
Or would you turn
and face the sea
And come beside
your cave
There's a chance
but if you dare
The swiftest
on his steeds
Before it's
no longer there
Here it goes again
Here it goes again
Here it goes again
What would you
leave behind when
all your fields
are dead?
When your territories
are dried out and
your cities drowned
and swept
What would you leave
behind when those
who bear your name are
born in that place
that you wrecked?
What would you
leave behind when
you're no
longer there?...
To deny or to despair
It's really just the same
Everything between
It means we have
to change
'Cos when one forgets
The world begins to fade
And all the
shapes and shades
That made the
colours seem
When it suddenly
turned grey
Then they're no
longer there...
