Halcyon Days Lyrics - The Century Of Self - And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

There, but for the grace of our Gods go you and I* 

Down roads none dare to follow 

Sands buried the graves of our former lives 

Smile and wave and let them go 

To rise above the mires of old days long died 

Know they won't come again 

Let the years roll in and drown our yesterdays 

Time is a stream with no end in sight 

As dark as it is cold 

Flowing by as we pray for the source to run dry 

That we may never grow old 

We long to rest our tired bones by our fires 

And drink to the days 

Let the years roll in and drown our yesterdays 

Born on our knees we all long 

For a fawn to sooth and calm 

And with our arrows bring her down 

Here, let me rest in your loft for a while 

Before I have to walk home 

Through the streets bathed in the light 

Of a thousand fires 

Of a cold and angry world 

In time we'll reconcile with old days long died 

Know they won't come again 

Let the years roll in, drown our yesterdays
