Lyrics:

I once built a bridge across the sky
It has since collapsed into the sea.
This lie I tell is hidden in my goodbye.
The truth I held was the key (was the golden key).
This generation is so stuck on greed and lust.
I must discuss my faith in you has crumbled to dust.

And under this tree I think
The place where I'll be
Found in the Fall
Is where the sun crashes into the ocean.

To the end of the world we go,
It bursts into flames
Like a firework show.
Our bodies melt into the sea.
They will rain back down
For the growth of this tree.

I built a throne the envy of Rome
It has since decayed into the Earth.
I hope one day you'll read my tome.
Then maybe you'll see how much it's not
It's not worth it.
My citizens followed me autonomously.
The wool I pulled was legendary (O it was legendary).

And under this tree I think
The place where I'll be
Found in the Fall
Is where the sun crashes into the ocean.

To the end of the world we go,
It bursts into flames
Like a firework show.
Our bodies melt into the sea.
They will rain back down
For the growth of this tree.

Nuclear bombs or pestilence?
What will be the end (be the end)?
These people have no defense.
Their wounds will not mend (will not mend).

To the end of the world we go.
Our bodies melt into the sea.
They will rain back down.

Chances are I'm not coming back
Chances are I'm not coming back
Whoa!
Chances are I'm not coming back
Chances are I'm not coming back
Whoa!
