Shadows Lyrics by OCEANS

The Sun and the Cold

2020

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
