The Canary No Longer Sings Lyrics

There's no light in the lighthouse

The canary no longer sings

The red lights have been flashing

For too long it seems

The air is as thick as thieves

The skyscrapers frozen like shards in the sea

No one has lived there since the waters rose too high

The cities are swamps the ships sail on the ridges

And we hide are faces in our hands

Peace love and war

We could have had so much more

But the child who stole from his brother

Never learned to love one another

Love power and glory

It's the same old story

We'll keep on fighting till there's nothing left

I don't read the papers

The papers don't cover the cracks no more

The newsreader don't lie

Millions of people in the hands of the few

The billions of reasons why were just not getting through

There's no light in the lighthouse

The canary no longer sings

The red lights have been flashing

For too long it seems

Peace love and war

We could have had so much more

But the child who stole from his brother

Never learned to love one another

Love power and glory

It's the same old story

We'll keep on fighting till there's nothing left

Love power and glory

It's the same old story

We'll keep on fighting till there's nothing left

There's no light in the lighthouse

The canaries no longer sing
