The Thermals - The Great Dying lyrics

[Verse] The time before us stretches back World of dust, Sky of black The words we found, They were sound They were clear They said we came We scrawled our name We were here We disappear The time before us stretches long Constantly here, Constantly gone The words we leave will be believed They will be clear They'll say we fought til we forgot why we were here We disappear The time before us opens at the end But only for a moment, Then it swallows us again We disappear The sky will turn to fire The sea will turn to salt Our memories will burn like we were never here at all We disappear
