Who Are We

Once we walked 'mongst the garden of stars

Their light grew dim and soon they would fall

Once we sang 'mongst celestial choir

Their voice grew tired and soon they sang no more

Once we set our scabrous feet on the riverbank

The days will grow dark, the river will dry

And once we build our temple to the mountaintop

The oceans will rise, the mountain will fall

Who we are will darken the Sun and stars

Set the world ablaze, we bring on the end of days

For who are we to tell the rain not to fall?

The streams not to flow, tell the wolves not to howl?

Here we stand 'mongst the ashes of life

A life we knew, we loved, we scorned, we burnt

Here we sing, out of key and alone

Our voice is tired and soon we'll sing no more

Once we set our scabrous feet on the riverbank

The days did grow dark, the river did dry

And once we built our temple to the mountaintop

The oceans did rise, the mountain did fall

Who we are will darken the Sun and stars

Set the world ablaze, we bring on the end of days

For who are we to tell the rain not to fall?

The streams not to flow, tell the wolves not to howl?

Who are we to tell the Sun when to shine?

The thunder when not to roar, tell the waves when to break?

Who are we to tell the Sun when to shine?

The thunder when not to roar, tell the waves when to break?
