lyrics

Evermore

Two warring tribes, to me they look the same.
A thousand years of grievances, I can’t keep straight their names.
They’ll either kill each other or they’re bluffing.
Either I will feel, or I’ll feel nothing.

I have been here before.
I will be here evermore.

Tired man, tired woman, finally off the clock.
She does something legal, he does something with stocks.
Drinks with dinner, television, the occasional bedtime perks.
They both vowed to pay attention, but man, that’s a lot of work.

I’ve heard revolutionary bells ring, then seen armbands on uniforms.
I’ve heard the holy choir sing when false messiahs were born.
Read illuminated pages as evil as they were long.
Heard prophets, seers and sages get every single word wrong.

Once communists and atom bombs, now capitalists and melting snow.
The Baird’s sparrow’s lost her nest to fields of dust where wheat won’t grow.
Everything we’ve known and made will fade without a trace,
And something else, maybe something better, will take its place.
