Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Meet me glassy eyed, blind and divine
Hold down the fort on the coastline
The castle is a pimple on the face of our orb
A humble spot for clues to drop
If you eavesdrop
[Verse 2]
I see through the bricks
To the sea, crumbling castle
Water's rising up
Thick and green, crumbling castle
Inching closer each century
Crumbling castle
Are we safe in our citadel
[Verse 3]
Look upon our condition
Crumbling castle
You would not believe where I'm from
Crumbling castle
[Verse 4]
We wait for the death
Does not come
Crumbling castle
Dug all the holes in
God's acre
Crumbling castle
We have even said
Our last rites
Crumbling castle
Are we safe in our holding cell
[Verse 5]
Look upon our condition
Crumbling castle
We head to our extinction
Crumbling castle
[Verse 6]
The sounds of the constant lightning
Would be enough to block out
The thought of the end of the world
If it were not for our tinnitus from the bomb
[Verse 7]
In the wind I sway
Back and forth
I'm brittle as an aged human being
Where my walls are safe from
Wild weather
The filth forms
Into great nastiness
Polygondwanaland
[Verse 8]
I don't want to be
A crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
I don't want to be
A crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
[Verse 9]
I don't want to fall into dust
I don't want nothing but to live on
The ache inside my keep spurs me on
I don't want to be visible
Polygondwanaland
[Verse 10]
I don't want to be
A crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
I don't want to be
A crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
[Verse 11]
On this very day
In one thousand years
The earth will be relative
To the sun and the moon
One  will be created and
I know because it is written here
[Verse 12]
I see through the bricks
To the sea, crumbling castle
Inching closer each century
Crumbling castle
Water's rising up
Thick and green, crumbling castle
Are we safe in our citadel
[Verse 13]
Look upon our condition
Crumbling castle
You would not believe where I'm from
Crumbling castle
[Verse 14]
A crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
Don't want to be
A crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
Don't want to be
A crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
Don't want to be
A crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
