lyrics

I used to be so healthy, mother,
Running with wild deer.
Chasing dawn's rosy mirth
Across the forest floor.
And hey, brother, the brown trout
Never seemed bothered that we traipsed through their home
Toes getting soggy and voices moving
But we haven't opened our mouths in a while.

And I will, I will be carried away
This earth won't stand still, won't stand still.

And, oh, sister, of earth and of sweat we have toiled.
My children you will hold
My skin and my bones please bequeath to the soil.

And I will, I will be carried away
This earth won't stand still, won't stand still.

Now, father, let us walk to Alathea's pool.
You said liars who drank these waters
Have now withered to so much dust.
So I see you and I see me,
But I cannot look upon
This life you have led, this life you have led.

And I will, I will be carried away
This earth won't stand still, won't stand still,
Won't stand still.
