I claim you
my flags laid down
from here to the horizon
here to the horizon
I build my house out of matchsticks tonight
keep one spare for the striking under the foundations.
where giants roamed
now only bones of those who came before decorate their ground
so how will I know to keep you safe
by building walls so you can't see outside and I can't fear what comes.
you will erode
you will erode now
so it will come
It will come down
let it erode
let it erode now
I claim you
my flags laid down
there's nothing left for sharing
nothing left to share
so I'll take my spade and dig under the ground
for something to discover
something to keep me here
for I could go
and stake my claim on someone else's land,
as history's foretold
but what have we learned
I see but desolate that no one now can occupy
let it live to let it truly die
