The world itself consumed Man, that's the only truth And what we loved was not enough Even though we wanted to
I learned it sick in bed Mining golden vapours Regrets like charms laid end to end And other sweet divinities
And this I learned and thus I gleaned What we loved was not enough But kiss it quick and rise again Kiss it quick and rise again Kiss it quick and rise again Kiss it quick and rise again
And the days come when we no longer feel
There'll be war in our cities And riots at the mall There'll be blood on our doorsteps And panics at the ball
All our cities gonna burn All our bridges gonna crack All our pennies gonna rot There'll be mud across our tracks
All our children gonna die All our children gonna die All our children gonna die All our children gonna die
Then the west will rise again The west will rise again So good night vain children Tonight is yours
The lights are yours If you'd just ask for more Than poverty and war If you'd just ask for more
What we loved was not enough What we loved was not enough What we loved was not enough What we loved was not enough
