Everything Everything - The Peaks lyrics

So they came, one by one
There was never any warning
Bled out the stuck pig fields like
It was gonna last long
And I saw the whole rise
I saw the whole thing fall down
And all flesh spun
A lattice of it reaching out

And I'm left holding my head
Looking down at every grave
And all millennia pass
Just a flicker in a wave
And I've seen more villages
Burn than animals born
I've seen more towers come down
Than children grow up

Cross the peaks, cross the marsh
Cross your fingers for the last time
And pass out the blame to
Someone and never stepping up, son
And nobody's asking
"Why is your head bent down so?"
There's trillions lost
I'm dreaming of a different time

And I'm left holding my head
Looking down on every grave
And all millennia pass
Just a flicker in a wave
And I've seen more villages
Burn than animals born
I've seen more towers come down
Than children grow up

And I've seen biomass swarm back
And forth across the globe
They try all manner of things just
To keep it all afloat
And I've seen more criminals
Hung than innocents walk
I've seen more horrors made real
Than dreamers wake up

Come now, decider, sit down beside me
Tell me my world is gone
