Lost

Lyrics

[Intro Sample: The Sheltering Sky] Are you lost? Yes Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, five times more, perhaps not even that How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty And yet it all seems limitless Are you lost? [Verse 1: Steve Von Till] My eyes were jaded So close to the centre I could not see But now they are fixed And glaring at the sacrifice to be made [Sample: In the Year of the Pig] I would remind you that scripture tells us, that blessed are the peacemakers Yet it takes a lot of doing to make peace It takes a good deal of hard work, building like a mighty cathedral stone by stone, block by block And I sometimes wonder [Verse 2: Steve Von Till] Now that I'm aware Of the cycles I pray that I can deal Now that I have shown you These cycles I pray that you can feel [Verse 3: Scott Kelly & Steve Von Till, Steve Von Till, (Scott Kelly) & Dave Edwardson] Lost In and out of the stray Taking the bait (Feeling compelled to obey), betray The isle of await [Sample: Presumed Innocent] Bewitched, destroyed, abandoned, like someone left for dead Suicide, until a dream begins In the dream, the destroyer is destroyed Now with such simplicity, such clarity, everything falls into place The destroyer is destroyed So powerful, control [Verse 4: Scott Kelly & Steve Von Till] Running scared from their thought Thinking I can summon some ancient truth before wrong Seeking my nature, our nature with fear of being caught [Chorus 1: Scott Kelly & Steve Von Till] Or have we been like this all along Or have we been like this all along [Refrain: Scott Kelly & Steve Von Till] The dawn of birth gives way to men [Chorus 2: Steve Von Till] Age brings dimness to sight as it must Age brings dimness to sight as it must [Bridge: Steve Von Till] Death seals the eyelids on darkness once again Augmentation of the dust [Chorus 1: Scott Kelly & Steve Von Till] Or have we been like this all along Or have we been like this all along [Outro: Dave Edwardson] Lost Lost Lost
