No Longer There

And though you'd like to hear a song

That sings everything's all right

The temperature is warm

The fire horses sleep

So gently comes the night

Now close your eyes and stare

The ground they're on is bare

But once it was as deep

And wild as giants' dreams

It's no longer there

And all of our desires

Could mirror skies with flames

And smoke out heaven's halls

Who was that you called?

They're no longer there

Here it goes again

Here it goes again

Here it goes again

What would you leave behind when all your fields are dead

When your territories are dried out and your cities drowned and swept?

What would you leave behind when those who bear your name

Are born in that place that you wrecked?

What would you leave behind when you're no longer there?

Would you sail to distant shores

And hide within the haze?

Softly close your door

Pretend the world was saved

And wait for heaven's call?

Or would you turn and face the sea

And calm decide you care?

There's chance but if you dare

And swift as honour's steeds

Before it's no longer there

Here it goes again

Here it goes agaaain

Here it goes aga .. ain!

What would you leave behind when all your fields are dead

When your territories are dried out and your cities drowned and swept?

What would you leave behind when those who bear your name

Are born in that place that you wrecked?

What would you leave behind when you're no longer there?

To deny or to despair

They're really just the same

And everything between

It means we have to change

Cos when a one forgets

Their world begins to fade

And all the shapes and shades

That made their colours see

Well they suddenly turn grey

Then they're no longer there
