lyrics

Old tales tell how the forest birds lost their shelter
Wild wood fell as we built with stone and timber
A quiet old man had a dream to live in the country
Be close to the land, build his house out in the woods
In the land now he sleeps
But his dream sprawled into a city
In the waste-strewn streets
Now the walls stand broken and empty

Where a dead man’s dreams stand derelict
The lost flown birds find a home
For the ground beneath is just as rich as the cold stone is overgrown

The vine roots deep and covers beam and rafter
There’s fruit the blackbirds reap
And the walls resound with their laughter

And these ruins are a sanctuary of praise without words to life returned
Where a dead man’s dreams stand derelict
Let the lost flown birds find a home
For the ground beneath is just as rich as the cold stone is overgrown

Where all our dreams stand derelict, let the lost flown find a home
If you give your life you’ll find it where the kerb stone is overgrown

And these ruins are a sanctuary of praise without words to life returned
And these stones raise a melody
A healing tide to death defied
And these ruins are a sanctuary of praise without words to life returned
And these stones raise a melody
A healing tide to death defied
And these stones raise a melody
A healing tide to death defied
Broken jars
Fallen stars
All we are
