Lyrics

Out across the water
Staring to the shore
Standing on the threshold of a dream
No prior warning
No overture
Just a sudden ocean from the stream
Isolation never was a violation
Domination never was a destination
We flew our colours, always on the run
And all our games were shadows in the sun
But as we journeyed through the fog
So uncertain of it all
We've never come undone
Or crossed the Rubicon
Out across the valley
Variation comes
Now the glow of summer disappears
No remonstration
No loaded gun
Won't offend the ones who brought us here
Condemnation never was a contemplation
Domination never was a destination
We flew our colours, always on the run
And all our games were shadows in the sun
But as we journeyed through the fog
So uncertain of it all
We've never come undone
Or crossed the Rubicon
As spring had much potential
As summer so had the fall
And so we carry on
(And so we carry on)
An autumn to sustain us
So winter won't betray us
And so we carry on
(And so we carry on)
We fought against all reason
To last another season
And so we carry on
(And so we carry on)
Dependent on the kindness
Of those who stand behind us
And so we carry on
(And so we carry on)
Condemnation never was a contemplation
Domination never was a destination
We flew our colours, always on the run
And all our games were shadows in the sun
But as we journeyed through the fog
So uncertain of it all
We've never come undone
Or crossed the Rubicon
We flew our colours, always on the run
And all our games were shadows in the sun
But as we journeyed through the fog
So uncertain of it all
We've never come undone
Or crossed the Rubicon
Never really thought we'd come so far
Everyone has something more to lose
Never really thought it's all we are
So we must invent again ourselves
Never really thought we'd fade away
Are you given to you all you have
Never really thought we'd see the day
A future generation divorcing its past
Never really thought we'd lose these things
All you ever thought will fall to the ground
Never really thought we'd spread our wings
And stumble when the stars come crashing down
Never really thought we'd touch the sun
The truth behind the end remains unseen
Never really thought what we'd become
A penny for the one you thought you'd be
