The Peaks

So they came one by one, There was never any warning, Bled out the stuck pig fields like it was gonna last, long, And I saw the whole rise, I saw the whole thing fall, down, And all flesh spun, a lattice of it reaching out And Im left holding my head, looking down at every grave, And all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave, And Ive seen more villages burn than animals born, Ive seen more towers come down than children grow up Cross the peaks, cross the marsh Cross your fingers for the last time, And pass out the blame to someone, And never stepping up, son! Nobodys asking; Why is your head bent down? So? There’s trillions lost, Im dreaming of a different time And Im left holding my head, looking down at every grave, And all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave, And Ive seen more villages burn than animals born, Ive seen more towers come down than children grow up And Ive seen biomass swarm, back and forth across the globe They try all manner of things just to keep it all afloat, And Ive seen more criminals hung than innocents walk, Ive seen more horrors made real than dreamers wake up Come now, decider, sit down, beside me, Tell me my world is gone.
