I Sang Lyrics

I sang the mountain ballads; they woke the sleeping streams

Planted in the valleys

Shooting at the heavens for our ever-swelling hearts

I drank the falling rain

I took all the pain and cursed it away to the depths of the lake

Nightfall came to serve me slices of the silver moon

Out the doorway, into broken darkness

Through the falling stars

Chaos reigns

Balanced for miles on the iron tracks

I tread upon the broken concrete and saw the weeds growing through the cracks

I ran the maze of the corn field

Staring through the stalks at the fading sky

Crossed a bird with a broken wing, looking for a place to hide

Everything dies

Isn't that the way this wicked world works?

Mountains crumble, forests burn, rivers run dry

I hate the way this old earth hurts

Time revolves, the sun explodes, ash and dust

Ash and dust
