lyrics

it looks like a sell off
of ancient lines
feels like a trade-off
passing the time
see the way lines control
well-defended right along
strong arms, they push you away
whenever you wander within the imperial walls

so many lies
so many glories to turn you around when you're head's out of line
that's how the ones who want to rule keep us all away
so many weary nights
if you don't know you had it,
you don't know you gave it away

so a man wants the land
oh my, the silly comes
protests are shoved out of the way
oh my, the sadness comes
standing in the fire
better get involved
the moment is getting away
the moment is fading away

the scourge of the land is set to come by
the death of the land is all we'll have left to buy
oh my, the silly comes
and every stream will turn to grey

the moment gets carried away
lost in a reverie
of toys they lay at our feet

what will it take for you to see?
