Lyrics Shadows - Oceans

Shadows

One thousand miles away
I hear the children play
They sing their songs of hope
Of hate and love and misery
One thousand years away
I see their shadows fade
Still singing songs of hope
Of hate and love and misery
A little glimpse of hope
Between all the hate and fear
It is all that we’ve got
When the end is near
The water is rising
But all we do is keep pouring in
Empty is the soul
Light is the mind
But heavy is the head that wears the crown
And numbered are his days
When the rivers all dried up
And all the trees cut down
Man will realise he’s not
Able to eat money
There’s no one left to save
It’s too late
One thousand miles away
I hear the children play
They sing their songs of hope
Of hate and love and misery
One thousand years away
I see their shadows fade
Still singing songs of hope
Of hate and love and misery
The water is rising
But all we do is keep pouring in
The higher we will rise
The deeper we shall fall
A kingdom on the edge of its demise
It’s time to turn the tide
When the rivers all dried up
And all the trees cut down
Man will realise he’s not
Able to eat money
There’s no one left to save
It’s too late
It’s too late
When the rivers all dried up
And all the trees cut down
When the oceans eat the land
We’ll understand
It’s too late
There’s no one left to save
It’s too late
One thousand miles away
I hear the children play
They sing their songs of hope
Of hate and love and misery
One thousand years away
I see their shadows fade
Still singing songs of hope
Of hate and love and misery
