Lyrics (unofficial)

Walk with the wind
Talk with the silent dead
Words are wasted in the fog ahead

The speed of the stars
The poppies and graves
They cut them all down to save the Empire's face

La, la, la-la-la

Gone with the mind
Gone with the revolution
Gone with the revolving fascination

The eyes of black moon
The kings and the queens
They throw 'em all up where the Empire has been

Don't speak of the past
Don't break apart from me
Words are all wasted deep in the heart of me

The battles we lost
The wars that we won
The peace that will be when desire is done
