lyrics

By the time you read this we will all be gone
And the legacy will come too late
The poets have lost their will to write
And monsters will roam the land
Empires collapse when the walls are secure
But the foundations underfoot
Are built of mud and sand
And wind turns all to dust

You know there’s no way back
When you’re stood in the standing water
Seas have risen and the sky is black
You’re stood in the standing water

We look to a time when we still had a chance
And the reversal could still take place
But the bankers and leaders looked the other way
And we’re no longer in the race
The rivers rise and the mountains roar
And we race to our gated homes
And the dust that you build your lies upon
Is blown away in the storm

You know there’s no way back
When you’re stood in the standing water
seas have risen and the sky is black
you’re stood in the standing water

All the temples you worshipped at
Won’t keep you from the storm
The best you can hope for is the forest cover
But you cut down the trees for oil
When the waters come they will not cease
Until the world is clean
By the end of the very last day
Will you regret the way you’ve been?

You know there’s no way back
When you’re stood in the standing water
seas have risen and the sky is black
you’re stood in the standing water
