lyrics

and in the water
as in the sky
out on the moor, the blasted moor
the trees are moving
we’re from the ground

eroded hillsides
the tracks run through
the mountainside, denuded earth
pine mixed with oak
we’ve gone to ground

sun in the desert
moon on the dune
fog from the woods rolls through the plain
into the valley
above the ground

the icy tundra
the permafrost
the standing stones, the burial mound
along the hedgerow
we’re in the ground

the ancient ruin
the midden heap
advancing shadows, in the clearing
by the salt lake
we’re on the ground

abandoned bunker
lost in the wood
tumbling down into the mineshaft
into the future
we’ve gone to ground

and in the water
lost in the wood
fog from the woods rolls through the plain
into the future
below the ground

eroded hillsides
moon on the dune
tumbling down into the mineshaft
into the valley
above the ground

sun in the desert
the midden heap
the mountainside, denuded earth
by the salt lake
we’re on the ground

the ancient ruin
the tracks run through
advancing shadows, in the clearing
the trees are moving
along the ground

abandoned bunker
as in the sky
out on the moor, the blasted moor
pine mixed with oak
we’re from the ground
