Ageless ages upon the earth
written in wages from its birth
the tools of time on each shore
take their toll in blood and war

Lay us here in silent slumber
as hearts peal with distant thunder
Let us sing no more in pain
now storms have broken each refrain

Each few that fall in droplet tears
water the places without fear
and yet for all the cold rain does
it never seems to be enough
