lyrics

So you say all the thoughts a man will ever think
Drift his way from the stream where he stoops to drink
Progress is just a signature on a bill
And you claim nothing’s changed and nothing ever will

Here they stand marking where man has had to pay
Seems they could never find content in any other way
A barren rock scarred this way by careless grasping hands
Forced to comply to all of their demands

Here on Easter Island
The stones just sit in silence
They’ve been cursed to think and worry
By the hands of who aren’t sorry
For the change they’ve brought
To whispers of the world

Now I stare into a lie carried on a breeze
In the glare of concrete my thoughts can’t flow with ease
I’ll never again hear music boxes decorate the sky
The storms with names they win and no one knows why

Here on Easter Island
The stones just sit in silence
They’ve been cursed to think and worry
By the hands of who aren’t sorry
For the change they’ve brought
To whispers of the world

Wouldn’t you like to know
Where to run where to go
Laughing from up in the air
The shakey wings of a lonely crow
Smoke in the sky
Because they drained these mountains dry
Peabody you know it’s true
Easter Island surrounds you

Here in these forgotten hills
They left us dust and took their drills
To another hole that holds
The gold they seek but I’ve been told
We’ve been cursed to stain the soil
Easter Island we shall spoil
All that shall remain
Our faces etched into the stones
Even they will fade with time
And heaven’s tears like rain
