lyrics

LYRICS:

Overlooking that dawn grove of
cypresses
Through eons of irises
Letting go of bygone hopes in our spirits
Living on beyond living
Oh that violent wake we left

Staring down the barrel of a crisis
Carried on in spite of it
How did we become so blind in our visions
Become defined in ‘em?

How long till we go now?
How long till we go now?

I don’t wanna live that long
‘til the creatures in ice have all but gone
Show me something heaven sent
In the elephants’ only ivory left
Oh that violent fate we met

How long till we go now?
How long till we go now?

As I’m watching that red sun a’rising
Beyond horizons
Brushing off a teary cheek
Guess there’s beauty in being obsolete
