Million Dead - Harmony No Harmony lyrics

When the last of the echoes fades
When the cymbals and the
Strings have died away
When I am left with just
The ringing in my ears
I take a breath and I settle down
I try to count the things that really count
To figure out what I've done
With the last few years

And after all the struggle and the strain
And after all the loss for little gain
The harmonies have faded away
But the melody remains
I grew up in the countryside
There I could have lived
And I could have died
I could have had running water and security
But, I took a train up to London town
Lost my money and immersed myself in sound
In lame jobs, late nights
Poor diets and poverty

And after all the struggle and the strain
And after all the loss for little gain
The harmonies have faded away
But the melody remains
