"On The Death Of The Waters" lyrics
"On The Death Of The Waters"
From the wreck of the ark
To the fading day of our star
The light races
The light drags
The moon rises
The moon sags
Over the rolling waves
And your hands on the balcony
As our spark
Pricks the world
And our shudder, deep, is unheard
But you feel it
Oh my God
As the spindle
Flies apart
Turn your bow to the biggest wave
But your angel's on holiday
And that wave rises slowly
And breaks

Midlake - "We Gathered In Spring" I'm tired of being here
On this hill
No-one lives to be three hundered years
Like the way it used to be
I think they were giants
I think they were giants
On this hill, nothing grows except greed...
