Lost Civilizations Lyrics

Lost civilizations fall down

With each tear that you cry

Their hopeless aspirations are the illusions

You hold in your eyes

Didn't I try to tell you

They'd only buy and sell you

And now you're finding out about the fallout

Now you see

It wasn't only me

You were just living with the dying kind

Breathless admirations that come

With your youthful energy

Are wasted on the living and

The dying understand this tragedy

Didn't I try to tell you

They'd only buy and sell you

And now you're finding out about the fallout

Now you see

It wasn't only me

You were just living with the dying kind

Now the good die young and old take time

But never find a cure for their disease

When shadows surround you

It's easy to trust the first thing you see

When it all comes clear

That's when I promise my dear

The words of a child will never leave you dry

And now you see

It wasn't only me

You were just living with the dying kind
