Bygons are memories of doomsday’s loss- Earthly shades of lime-green moss For ever now will be too late To make this right so we cherish our fate
Chorus: Bounty has claimed our soul and providence Sing together boys, for we are now prophetless If the reaper comes for our bodies tonight Let him know our sins to make them right
Grand theft from Noah’s arc And barren scapes of shadows dark Empty horizons on the road we take Fire away, since to laugh is to break
We’ve made gypsies out of our women Taken the world they were given Under their eyes the circles grow dark Their shoulders are heavy and skin like chalk
