Caligula's Horse - A Gift To Afterthought lyrics

Here and now it ends We don't remember the first crack But we will all recall the flood There go the edges son, but just you wait I never thought that we would go this way We stand at the edge and watch the whole world crash around our feet This is more than each of us This will be the end of us now, I swear it Believe me Just one word And welcome home was all we heard Through bars we built ourselves They'd already won Just one word And welcome home the empty herd She always said "I won't believe it - You've found your voice, now let me hear it!" We left the tyrant, now undone Drowning at his river's end We turned our feet to run The words had called us, son: We knew the world could end by just one Just one word And welcome home was all we heard Through bars we built ourselves They'd already won Just one word We should have known The empty herd She always said that we would soon forget But there's one word left in the box yet As stone turns to dust around us This gift to afterthought brings her own weaknesses Opening the prison door comes as no consolation to us standing here at the end There go the edges, son We stand at the edge and watch the whole world crash around our feet This is more than each of us This will be the end of us now, I swear it Believe me Just one word And welcome home was all we heard Through bars we built ourselves They'd already won Just one word And welcome home the empty herd She always said "I won't believe it - You've found your voice, now let me hear it!"
