Lyrics

It’s just two weeks since we came ashore, but I can’t remember my life before
It seems to me there was something more, but it’s gone, long gone

Watchin my skin as it turns red, uniform hangs in tattered shreds,
But for the conch we’d all be dead, I’m sure, I’m sure

CHORUS
There was a time when we stood in line, civility had a sacred shine
But it slipped away, an ocean away

He always knows which way is right, but he has no stomach for the fight
Hides his face in fear at night, till dawn, cold dawn

The hunters they dance while the fire dies, I see the bloodlust in their eyes
The jungle echoes with Simon’s cries, and he’s gone, all gone

CHORUS

The fragile cords that bind us to, our hopes and dreams are torn in two
The lord of the dark collects his due, and we’re gone, so gone

CHORUS
