5. Buried At Sea A lonely empire, bound to one The breadth of gazing wonder, seized firmly Never to reach out, never known So hallowed we shall be, when we return to thee Our whole world and all our needs Will wash away in time We conceal the shame Of helplessness Where are we now I can't see through all the smoke and rain To find the point where death and our lives meet Some things I'll never know But I can see we have nowhere to go I hope that there's a place for you and me When we're buried at sea As we go it alone Unknowingly gone astray A new tide is turning It's life that supports life Is still cause for rage Our whole world and all our needs Will wash away in time We can build walls high and trenches deep Through we don't transcend We stalk our crypt alive Force fed borrowed time Where are we now I can't see through all the smoke and rain To find the point where death and our lives meet Some things I'll never know But I can see we have nowhere to go I hope that there's a place for you and me When we're buried at sea Years of sin unspoken Wounds prove a grave aftermath An irreversible path Silent oaths are broken Harvest a strike in defense A means to an end Bring your storms in staunch brigades Do your worst, we're not afraid Our whole world and all our needs Will wash away in time We can build walls high and trenches deep Through we don't transcend We stalk our crypt alive Force fed borrowed time Where are we now I can't see through all the smoke and rain To find the point where death and our lives meet Some things I'll never know But I can see we have nowhere to go I hope that there's a place for you and me When we're buried at sea
