Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Have you heard other guys
In forests as the evening falls?
Truths murmur and remind, and fade away like drown men's faces
Run deep into stern
The light is summery and gold
Words are woven like a gothic fantasy
[Verse 2]
Somewhere time flows on
Still carryin' us all down to our deaths
Rapid or slow as an old river
Nothing stops it
Though the waters here are bright and still
They bring numb changes to this ever-changing rule
They bring numb changes to this ever-changing rule
[Verse 3]
The way released from present, future, past
Do nothing here but wait like stranded ghosts
Until the world reclaims us
He who came, but nothing he remembers
It at least, with gold-slipped colors
And they're hunting a beast
With gold-slipped colors
And they're hunting a beast
[Verse 4]
Somewhere time flows on
Still carryin' us all down to our deaths
Rapid or slow as an old river
Nothing stops it
Though the waters here are bright and still
They bring numb changes to this ever-changing rule
