oh from far and away they came oh from far and away oh battling giants with chains on the crest of a wave
oh when the darkness rose oh it came with a squall first first there were shouts then they froze and all were silenced by the wall
wall of water oh the walls of the deep walls i'd rather not keep walls made of wire oh the walls in the ground walls i'm no longer building oh i'm tearing them down
oh to far and away they fled oh to far and away carrying emptiness on the backs of their dead
but oh when the new day rose oh there was room for them all first they spread ashes and seeds all along the ruins of the wall
walls of the desert oh the walls of the sand walls that no longer stand walls made of wire oh the walls in the ground walls i'm no longer building oh wall of water oh the walls of the deep walls i'd rather not keep walls made of wire oh the walls in the ground walls i'm no longer building oh i'm tearing them down
oh from far and away they sang oh from far and away
