Fox and the Bird - Oldest Old lyrics

Artist: Fox and the Bird

album: Floating Feather


Sad to say, I see a lot of anger here
It makes compassion disappear
And helps me stay so far away
But hopefully we're not the type of men as we
Have seen in generations past,
The kind that live and die so fast
An ancient struggle has become the loneliest heartache
An ancient cycle is now our first and last mistake
For the oldest old of the newest born
Couldn't ever know how the earth was formed
From the saddest deaths bloody aftermath,
To the poorest peasant birth
To the men that fought and died to conquer earth
Fossilized, we strain to open up our eyes
And see the way things used to be
We dig too far in history
And there exposed, our heartless, faithless cousins go
To wash and wash repeatedly
But in their eyes ourselves we see
... and the way we laughed when the world collapsed
And we're left with childbirth
And the song we sang, penned in father's name
But we swore we wrote it first
To the men who fought and died to conquer earth
