lyrics

This is the day we knew was coming
We finally fell through this thin veil
The secrecy and silent cunning
This house of cards has fallen down

I lead the way with declarations
but 2 21 will never die
You took a while to let sensation
break over you like waves denied

We’ll celebrate our independence
As if celebrate is the word to use
The freedom here is only burden
Driving our feet into the ground

Maybe we’ll laugh someday at madness -
80 years old and still in flames
We’ve had a fiery fall from heaven
and now we’re burning on the ground

We didn’t care what overcame us
Our cri de guerre was “vive les fous”
Pieces of life dropped all around us
Scattered like leaves, they made no sound

This is the day we both saw coming -
this is the one, we cannot run
This is the time we pay the piper
to play a tune but we don’t dance

Somehow we hoped it would Passover
Always so sure we moved so fast
Like pillars of salt it swirled around us
Never look back, Never look back
