lyrics
They left in May,
And so they say,
Their bodies were not found.
Of what they possessed
There’s nothing left
It sank into the ground,
Into the ground.
Into the ground.
The silence shocked,
The penny dropped
The ice bled through the ground.
No aim for blame,
No sirens came,
The lost could not be found,
Could not be found.
Could not be found.
And the fires came burning over
And the seas crashed onto the land
When it all stands in vain
Will it still ring the same?
You can’t follow a route laid on sand.
Here we go again
Here we go again
When it all stands in vain
Will it still ring the same?
You can’t follow a route laid on sand.
The people strived
To save their lives
They turned to those they’d crowned.
They felt insured
With greed they hoard
They wouldn’t make a sound,
No, not a sound,
Not a sound.
And the fires came burning over
And the seas crashed onto the land
When it all stands in vain
Will it still ring the same?
You can’t follow a route laid on sand.
Here we go again
Here we go again
When it all stands in vain
Will it still ring the same?
You can’t follow a route laid on sand.
Now floats the shiny penny
As the tendrils of waves swell
O’er pastures green and littered
With the bones that used to dwell
On England’s luscious majesty
That’s burned in depths of hell,
On England’s luscious majesty
That’s burned in depths of hell.
And the fires came burning over
And the seas crashed onto the land
When it all stands in vain
Will it still ring the same?
You can’t follow a route laid on sand.
Here we go again
Here we go again
When it all stands in vain
Will it still ring the same?
You can’t follow a route laid on sand.
You can’t follow a route laid on sand.
You can’t follow a route laid on sand.
