    This line we are marching
    On the same trail
    There were footprints before us
    Leading us off a ten kilometre drop.
    Yet, we are still here
    The signs have been rooted
    In the trees that have fallen
    In the fish that have sunk
    In the birds that have no wings
    And the Sun that has turned to stone.
    The earth's deep vein has come to the surface
    Our metallic hands have choked it out
    You can see it cut across the green skin
    We don't release our grip
    We wait and wonder how it will be.
    But we know this answer,
    Our fate is real.
    When the leaves fall and never come back,
    We will cry out to our Mother
    But She cannot save Herself.
    She cannot convince Time to turn back.
