Shearwater - Quiet Americans lyrics

I can't help it, if all the world is ending All the life is gone while you're calling up this name Where are the Americans? Your dim cultures, your hands and eyes that wander Stumbling down the road Or collapsing on parade We're lying alone in the Eastern land Slipping in the morning hours, the only sound From the lantern covered hills, the only light From the day yet to begin, the only sign Of the guns and silhouettes The only sound, the only light Only, only! Done with silence, we're disconnecting lives Pull out the lightning dust At the mention of his name Wither the Americans! Take the memories out, hide the evidence under Piss on the world below Like a dog, that knows its name Where are the Americans? I'm calling on the run tonight Feeling the remaining hours, the only sound Are the bells upon the hill, the only light Are the lanterns in the wind, the only sight Screams the rust off the rails The only sound, the only light Only, only! The only light is the day yet to begin The only sight are the lives in silhouette The only sound is the rushing of the wind The only light is not the only life Only, only!
