It Could Be A Long Time (Is This How We Go?) Lyrics

It could be a long time coming

It could be a long time

It could be a long time coming home

Chains and ties we've trained our eyes to see

Avalanche change in tides they breach

And I don't want to face them on my own

Rats they come make monsters of men

People sail selling tales of dead

What a war we have made out of them

It could be a long time coming

It could be a long time

It could be a long time coming home

Ropes to wrists we make fists towards the sky

Captain speaks turning heads hands eyes

We're lost at sea I pray we all survive

Cracking splits fire shoot the ball

Brittle bones of men that stood so tall

Everything on land is born to fall

Oh it could be a long time coming

It could be a long time

It could be a long time coming home

Captain what's become of the ship the crew

Is it just you can I trust you

It's like the sun the moon have both frozen as have you

Have you tried to reach the edge but these cold waters they meet no end

Do you think that we simply missed our mark now we're floating in the dark

I think, I think

We are all alone crews gone over board it's a nightmare I swear

We will not be found here

We will not be found

The crew had all passed bodies turned to ash

For the ship and the sea and the skies over me

Is this how we go

Is there no going home
