An army charges upon the land
To the sound of retreat
This is bigger than us
A stronger wind is blowing
[Verse 2]
Blowing from paradise
Into the world to come
Progress is its name
Death nods its head
[Chorus]
First the dead
Then the living
Call their names
Like a legion
[Verse 3]
Their steps are retreating
Out of the earth and the sea
Back to the beginning of time
An endless beach
[Verse 4]
Where a table has been set for one
With salt and water
Lay down the kid
And turn around and leave
[Chorus]
First the dead
Then the living
Call their names
Like a legion
[Verse 1] An army charges upon the land To the sound of retreat This is bigger than us A stronger wind is blowing [Verse 2] Blowing from paradise Into the world to come Progress is its name Death nods its head [Chorus] First the dead Then the living Call their names Like a legion [Verse 3] Their steps are retreating Out of the earth and the sea Back to the beginning of time An endless beach [Verse 4] Where a table has been set for one With salt and water Lay down the kid And turn around and leave [Chorus] First the dead Then the living Call their names Like a legion Explain Request ×
