Splinters

remembering the hurricanes that frozen spring
beneath our feet, the ground gave way to suffering
the choice between this barren land, the sea and unseen
splinters, all that's left of all our family trees
we brought this on ourselves
we shaped the earth with our machines
the siren's scream plays in my head again and again
it rang out, now everyone you knew is dead
the fool they follow leads them on, a rally cry, the shepherd's song
bring me the night, it only rains from empty skies
and the way is long, only the strong can carry on
one more try
rivers flowing, never knowing when wells run dry
we become the past after the last is dead and gone
we comply
the past is gone, i walk alone, one more time
i'm on my own, i ask, i seek until i find
i will never let this make me lose my mind
i will never let this make me lose my mind
the fool they follow leads them on, a rally cry, the shepherd's song
bring me the night, it only rains from empty skies
and the way is long, only the strong can carry on
one more try
rivers flowing, never knowing when wells run dry
we become the past after the last is dead and gone
we comply
