"The Peaks" lyrics

So they came, one by one
There was never any warning
Blood out the stuck thick fields
Like it was gonna last long
I saw the whole rise
I saw the whole thing fall down
And all flesh spun, a lattice of it reaching out

And I'm left holding my head
Looking down at every grave
And all millennia passed
Just a flicker and a wave
And I've seen more villages burn than animals born
I've seen more towers come down than children grow old

Cross the peaks, cross the marsh
Cross your fingers for the last time
Pass out the blame to someone
Never stepping up, son
Nobody's asking why is your head bent down
So, there's trillions lost
I'm dreaming of a different time

And I'm left holding my head
Looking down at every grave
And all millennia passed
Just a flicker and a wave
And I've seen more villages burn than animals born
I've seen more towers come down than children grow old

And I'm left holding my head
Looking down at every grave
And all millennia passed
Just a flicker and a wave
And I've seen more villages burn than animals born
I've seen more towers come down than children grow old
