lyrics

the worst is yet to come on the coldest night
a homeless drift across the earth
for the better part of a century has come and gone

the horizon twists it begins to spin
you surrender everything to rust
and in the ashes, in the tawny dust
you would talk about the future for the first time

facing to the ether the future asks
'how do i go forward, unchanged?
when it's clear the mountain's rumbling,
somehow i'm unafraid'

under shale and sandstone
they'll find no trace of the migrant camps
when the silence comes
for a thousand years, or more

so drink up my friends
smile on yr gods
i think i'll do it now
we carve out our marks with precision
and the red becomes the ink of consciousness

and we'll find each other
wading in the seas of grass,
sleeping under poppy flowers,
in the trenches of the clearcut forest blocks
and we'll find each other
in the northern cemeteries
