"Sabino" lyrics

"Sabino"

The ground shakes, the sky falls down
We see the Earth break and question how
She's kept us all safe, the rattlesnake still bathes in the sun
Watch how the flood takes the scree from the path
See how the dead plants give into the wrath
Make room for rebirth, sweep away the past in the rain

I did the hard thing, I blocked out the sun
I left my hometown and made a new one
I killed my heroes, I left it all to rot into the flood
I heard the boulders crumble the walls
I saw the cypress standing there tall
The speed would pick up, ricochet a pinball roll of death

Someday I'll be here, picking up the mess
I'll bring my children, put 'em to the test
Just like my parents, passing down their dreams and pain my way
Someday I'll leave here, swept into the wash
I'll leave the world here, but the meaning will be lost
I'll make the ground shake, bring the rocks down, make the canyon fall
