Song lyrics

And on that day they'll tell you,
That life hung on with no clue,
The warning signs were all just missed or shattered down,
So it goes.
The kings all failed to tell us,
The madmen failed to sell us,
Of what would then befall
The only life we know.

When they are burning signal fires
To guide us to the fields,
Or building funeral pyres
The outcome of a final appeal.

The city lines are down,
The kerosene's run out,
The fracturing of all we relied upon,
Let's shed this unclean skin
And start to feel again,
Cause all the shoulders
On which to cry are gone.

The paranoia gripped us,
The rain turned engines to rust,
The panic set in like a cancer to our hearts
Spreading through,
We bet on finite genius
Or prayed for gods to save us,
But there was no antidote,
Disease tore us apart,
We left bodies in the fields,
So numb that we forgot how to feel.

The city lines are down,
The kerosene's run out,
The fracturing of all we relied upon,
Let's shed this unclean skin
And start to feel again,
Cause all the shoulders
On which to cry are gone.

He looked at the fields,
And then his hands,
"All I need is what I have"
Then fell a tear of happiness.

She watched the world
Crumble away
"Is this the end of yesterday?"
"Lord, I hope so", is all he said.
All gone are the old guards,
Gone are the cold, cold wars,
Weightless we go forth
On wings of amnesty.

Oh, we relied on now.

The city lines are down,
The kerosene's run out,
The fracturing of all we relied upon,
Let's shed this unclean skin
And start to feel again,
With no more shoulders,
Shoulders to cry on now.

No more, no more,
No more, no more,
No more, no more,
The weight that we once felt is gone.
