Quiet Company Everything Louder Than Everything Else
Long, long ago (back when the ocean was our home)
We crawled out of the sea, so eager to breathe
We looked to the sky, and to the limits of our minds
To understand why all things die, and how we came to be
Thought we knew all we'd need
But it's time to get off our knees
And offer our hands up to the earth
And it's time, to find where we belong
And see what it's worth
And it's time, and it's time...
Don't lay me down, i don't ever want to die
I've had too good a time, i really like it here
But all those prophets promised me, that if i could just believe
Eternal life and peace would be waiting for me
But when i go
There will probably be no angels singing, no harps ringing
No pearly gates, nor devil's flames
Just nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
Wouldn't it be grand to take some comfort in
Those same holy texts that pacify my friends?
Well, it wouldn't change the fact that all we know is we come and we go
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes
And it's time to get off our knees
And offer our hands up to the earth
And it's time, to find where we belong
And know what it's worth
And it's time, and it's time...
Don't let me go, i'm not prepared
I'm so damned scared that i'm almost there
Don't let me go, i'm not prepared
I'm so damned scared that i'm almost there
