Sons

Icehouse

We don't know this place

this wasted stretch of land

and these steaming horizons

it's locked in our past

it's stragely so familiar

like a scar on our memory

no sign of the ancient heroes

who gave us this one last hour

it's so still, there's so few of us here

there's no sound here at all

the last light disappears

with the Sons of decay

the ones left to stay



For years we were lost

we slept as systems stored us

they sealed in our orders

we woke up alone

in this silence and this space

as if nothing happened

no sign of the ancient heroes

who left us this one long hour

it's so still, there's so few of us here

love, I'm feeling so small, all night

just waiting here

with the Sons of decay

the ones left to stay
