lyrics

One day the information empire will explode into a billion ones and zeroes
You will taste them on your lips as they tear across the sky
The post-apocalyptic sunrise breaks on us, and the air is sweet and fragrant
All the noise and dust has at last been swept away
Caught up in the shockwaves at the dawn of the new day

One day we’ll all be farmhands and breathe the open skies
Working with our fingers we’ll bury all the lies of the past
We’ll keep the truth alive, a secret deep inside the new earth
When will we return?

One day the endless fields of asphalt will be rent by the roots still trapped beneath them
Our grey citadels of mammon will be overgrown and lost
The tree of life cracks through the pavement, fills our walls and the birds roost in her branches
The barren concrete jungle will teem with life again
The seed’s already sown and we’ll sing out until then

One day we’ll all be farmhands and breathe the open skies
Working with our fingers we’ll bury all the lies of the past
We’ll keep the truth alive, a secret deep inside the new earth
When will we return?

When we lose all we’ve built upon the sand
(when we lose it all)
When springs break forth upon this desert land
(when springs break forth)
When at last we all come to understand
(come to understand)
That heaven’s planted here in our own muddy hands
(heaven’s planted here)
The harvest is so great
But the workers are so few
