Sighing

Lyrics

[Chorus] Now in the roar of machinery I hear a sighing "Please remember what came before." Now in the murky streets I hear a sighing "Please remember this was our home." [Verse 1] Desperation and hunger among the stumps Covered in sludge from where you crawled ashore Insistently yelling the loudest boasts Rather than "Thank you." the voices say "More." [Verse 2] Now a pile of mud and bones beneath Layer after layer of naive hope And waking up again in a short-sighted youth Ten thousand years forgotten [Chorus] And now in the roar of machinery I hear a sighing "Please remember what came before." Now in the murky streets I hear a sighing "Please remember this was our home."
