about

It’s a long day
To the new land
We will build our own horizon

It’s been a long way
Since the early days
When it all came out of nothing

Through the rot, off the damp
That stillness in the air
Felt like an island at sea
This life is for someone else
See how we will disappear
We will build somewhere else

It’s a nice thought
Once you think you know
That it all comes down to something

It’s a long way
To the start again
Can you yet see the horizon?

Through the rot, off the damp
That stillness in the air
Felt like an island at sea
This life is for someone else
See how we will disappear
We will build somewhere else
