lyrics

Fall from Grace with the Sea (05:50)

Why are you sad? Why are you weeping?
Has the engine broken down?
The Owls don't hoot, they only frown.
I wish upon a solution, but the heavens let us down.
Where shall we go, where shall we look?
Is the solution within a book?
Where is the ladder to the sea?
Can the uncanny puppet breathe?
The enemy comes from within.
The enemy comes from within.

You've been holding us back for ages,
You've been taking us for a stroll.
We've been living without any wages;
Now we don't know where to go.

You've been holding us back for ages,
You've been taking us for a stroll.
We're like sailors who fall from grace with the sea,
Now we don't know where to go.

All us modern kids are wasted;
Wise old men on mountaintops:
They are sitting there placated,
Waiting for the sky to drop.
None of us know what we're facing,
The end of all we love;
The end of all we love.

You've been holding us back for ages,
You've been taking us for a stroll;
We've been living without any wages,
Now we don't know where to go.

You've been holding us back for ages,
You've been taking us for a stroll;
We're like sailors who fall from grace with the sea,
And we don't know where to go.
We're like sailors who fall from grace with the sea,
Now we don't know where to go.
