Sighing - Mount Eerie

Now in the roar of machinery I hear a sighing

«Please remember what came before.»

Now in the murky streets I hear a sighing

«Please remember this was our home.»

Desperation and hunger among the stumps

Covered in sludge from where you crawled ashore

Insistently yelling the loudest boasts

Rather than «Thank you.»

the voices say «More.»

Now a pile of mud and bones beneath

Layer after layer of naive hope

And waking up again in a short-sighted youth

Ten thousand years forgotten

And now in the roar of machinery I hear a sighing

«Please remember what came before.»

Now in the murky streets I hear a sighing

«Please remember this was our home.»
