Ruins by the Shore

Sometime between ice ages that they first appeared
Fell hungry on the beasts and fish they speared

But all their bones are blackened
And their faces are no more
As we walk among the ruins by the shore

They worshipped gods and thought they'd never die
But now the spiders nest the tombs wherein they lie

But all their bones are blackened
And their faces are no more
As we walk among the ruins by the shore

They dreamed of golden cities raised into the air
But greed drew their simple hearts into its snare

But all their bones are blackened
And their faces are no more
As we walk among the ruins by the shore

Kings, tyrants and their empires on the Earth held sway
Their belief in science took their souls away

But all their bones are blackened
And their faces are no more
As we walk among the ruins by the shore

We search the heavens and the silent skies
Hoping that light will fall on blinded eyes

But all our bones will blacken
And our faces be no more
As we lay among the ruins by the shore
As we lay among the ruins by the shore
