Lyrics
History Of Modern (Part 1)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everything you say everything you do,
All the things you own, all the things you knew,
Everyone you love everyone you hate,
All will be erased and replaced.
Everything you take, everything you gave,
All the things you've found, all the things you've made
Everyone you lost and saved
Nothing will remain, cradle or grave.
Every precious child and every mother's kiss
All who went before, and all that follows this
Every moment shared, hour of the day
No record will remain, all will fade away.
Every dream you had and every battle won
All the hopes and fears, bombs and guns
Theories and lies, planet and sun
All is erased, another is begun
There will be no song, when the final voices gone
There will be no song, when the final voices gone
There will be no song, when the final voices gone
