The ash from one thousand suns
Bleeds the air from the oxygen skies
Sinks it's teeth in the earth
Slams shut the lids of your eyes
Constellations that hold
Their shape for only a moment
Then are blown apart again
We are one of them
We are one of them
Back to dust and vapor
Along with all our strongest bones
Even thought we said
We could make the world
Or break the world today"
The song we've sung will vanish
Along with everything we own.
And nothing anyone has ever done will matter
Murder for a jar of red rum
No trace not one carton
Now sir a war is won
Now sir a war is won
Never odd or even
Never odd or even
Never odd or even
Never odd or even
The palindromes
Of a billion homes
Is to end where they all began
When the sun goes out
You can scream and shout
But it's all still gonna happen
When the sun goes out
You can scream and shout
But it's all still gonna happen
Back to dust and vapor
Along with everything we own
Even thought we said
We could make the world
Or break the world today"
The song we've sung will vanish
Along with everything we own.
And nothing anyone
Has ever done will matter
When the sun goes out
You can scream and shout
But it's all still gonna happen
