Sighing Mount Eerie

[Chorus]
Now in the roar of machinery I hear a sighing
"Please remember what came before."
Now in the murky streets I hear a sighing
"Please remember this was our home."

[Verse 1]
Desperation and hunger among the stumps
Covered in sludge from where you crawled ashore
Insistently yelling the loudest boasts
Rather than "Thank you." the voices say "More."

[Verse 2]
Now a pile of mud and bones beneath
Layer after layer of naive hope
And waking up again in a short-sighted youth
Ten thousand years forgotten

[Chorus]
And now in the roar of machinery I hear a sighing
"Please remember what came before."
Now in the murky streets I hear a sighing
"Please remember this was our home."
