And a wind is rising silently And a wind returns a memory Cut my feet on shards of heresy All the way from the sierra to the sea It was always just like this And it will always be It was always just like this And it will always be It was always just like this The hopes we felt when we decamped Full of pride And wastelands full of black rocks We fought and failed and died again Side by side And we came back from the mountains In rags and pain and stained with dark for a smile And it will always be And it will always be like this And all the wrong directions And all the blood and faith we shed Day by day And the wind is growing stronger While are the camps are burning still Far away ♪ It was always just like this And it will always be Always be like this And it will always be Always be like this
