Select language to translate this lyric
Sometime between ice-ages they first appeared
Fell hungry on the beasts and fish they speared
Now all their bones are blackened
And their faces are no more
As we walk among the ruins by the shore
They worshiped gods and thought they'd never die
But now the spiders nest the tombs wherein they lie
And all their bones are blackened
And their faces are no more
As we walk among the ruins by the shore
They dreamed of golden cities raised into the air
But greed drew their simple hearts into its snare
Now all their bones are blackened
And their faces are no more
As we walk among the ruins by the shore
Kings, tyrants and their empires on the Earth held sway
Their belief in science took their souls away
And all their bones are blackened
And their faces are no more
As we walk among the ruins by the shore
We search the heavens and the silent sky
Hoping that life will fall on blinded eyes
But all our bones will blacken
And our faces be no more
As we lay among the ruins by the shore
As we lay among the ruins by the shore.
