John Gay - Daisies Lyrics

Raining down the shattered glass
The progress that can never last
The mystery so dark and vast
Don't know how it went so fast
The atmosphere has tore her dress
Done the crime we must confess
The aftermath the smoldering mess
Feel the heat of it's caress
It's caress
We are daisies on the grave
Living on decay
We are daisies on the grave
When all else goes away
Another verse another hearse
Falling through the cracking earth
A descent that started at birth
Never knowing what it's worth
He who thinks he owns the earth
Forgets that He owned him first
Without the trees the sky will fall
The destiny of one is all
We are daisies on the grave
Living on decay
We are daisies on the grave
When all else goes away
Bind and smother mother daughter
Wonder what the violence taught her
Drive the masses to the slaughter
Plastic islands in the water
Those who fowl their own nest
Will drown in their own waste
When it seems like all is gone
See that we've been down so long
Sweeping up the shattered glass
The progress couldn't ever last
Electro magnetic blast
Left the daisies in the grass
We are daisies on the grave
Living on decay
We are daisies on the grave
When all else goes away
We are daisies on the grave
Living on decay
We are daisies on the grave
When all else goes away
When all else goes away
