Justin Sullivan - Sentry lyrics

Waiting in the setting sun at the end of the road The armies have moved away like the fading gold I stand sentry by the rusting gate but no one comes Nothing moves this way in the valley of stone The evening shadows steal across the hills And only the seasons change, only the seasons change Only the seasons change And I've seen so much more than I wanted to see The flies all swarming round in the blistering heat Layer upon layer here of the same old curse The red blood draining down into the blood red earth In the end we tell the stories just the same And only the names have changed, only the names have changed Only the names have changed The empires rising, falling like the seas Their voices are just the whispers in the trees I lock the chain upon the gate for the end of the day I clean the gun that I'll never use and lay it away As the stars spread like splinters of the sun And only the seasons change, only the seasons change Only the seasons change Only the seasons change Only the seasons change
