There is a city underground
The air is warm, the water moves
Unwrapping diamonds, counting down
Fossil bones are stirring in their sleep
Another round, another life
The fish's eyes are blurry stones
It's holding on, it's changing shape
Senses sharpen, senses grow
Three hundred holy wars or more
Out of motion, out of mind
With all their anger drained away
Pulled apart by roots and rain
We're holding on, we're pushing back
We're binding books and drawing maps
Of grinding plates and icy comet tails
These songs are blowing over desert trails
