Make your stand at this border if you dare

Many have come before you

I took them down to the stones and mortar

They bowed to the water

These waves will wash all the rest away

When you come to my castle, step inside

Speak to one million creatures

Ask if I am a home for the living

They come to me in the storm

If you say that you love me, come and drown

Give your bones to the ocean

I'll take them down to the old world's bower

The earth, my first lover

These waves will wash all the rest away

And with the future comes the rising tide

The land will give in to the sea and sky

Where drifting satellites add bodies to the silent chorus of the night

Their wheels above the crashing quiet

And when the mighty Colorado dies

The land will be a desert for a while

The river turns to rain, becomes the sea, begins again

Begins again

Begins again

Begins again

Begins again
