I take a long walk down the countryside
Take a long, long time to clear my mind
Living behind these steel bars
Someone strolls along the oceanside
Looking up to the land of living skies
Casting glances from tear-filled eyes
Up on top of this burned-down countryside, this fire envelops me
(hilarious mondegreens, worth keeping:
I'll be sitting on the beach
Thinking I'm a celebrity
Once its great and falls to my knees
Make our mistakes and take them to our graves.)
I'll be sitting on that beach, thinking: was it ever "too late"?
What once was great, all falls into place
We make our mistakes, and take them to our graves
(I've been taught this boring mountainside)
Up on top of this barren mountainside
(Its far then its me)
This fire that follows me, as I'm wading into the ocean
(Waiting until I get me)
Wading until I get knee-deep
(Welcome to the land of the living skies)
I look up to the land of living skies
While I'm drowning in a sea, a sea of glory.
They showed you the room where you'd stay
Cold walls of concrete and clay
From one tiny window, you'd see armies of soldiers in green
All for you
(After the smoke's blown away)
Gathered, as stones from a grave
Troops with dark horses at bay
As far as your eyes can see
Millions of men on one knee, all for you
