lyrics

When the strange
And wond'rous truths
Of our time
Make their way
Upon the stage
Before their prime

Old age and treachery
Shall overcome

The shining signs
Of love inspired
Will be denied
The tempest wins
What's yours is mine
& You're cast aside

Old age and treachery
Shall overcome

When the ocean found its start is
When the earth first broke her heart
And if my eyes can find your soul
Then just one gaze can burn a hole
When the birds forget to sing
And never bring another spring
Your youth is just another toy
To leave us all a bit annoyed
We'll pluck you by the greenest shoots
And salt what's left down to the roots
I'll take your trite banality
And show you stark finality!

When the strange
And wond'rous truths
Of our time
Make their way
Upon the stage
Before their prime

Old age and treachery
Shall overcome
