In the anthropocene
A little vision's gold
And those towers across the sea
Are full of stories never told
And everyone that you once loved
Is either fleeing or getting old
But it's the land here that stays
And it's the land here that folds
And the waves come
And go away
And this land here that we grew to know
Is full of dismay
Cause there's a siren in this heart
A siren 'cross the bay
The people always know
To turn and look away
A vision seems so far
Somewhere far away
But every time I look
Another loveless face
Oh, my love
Is there to stay
And oh, I know
This place is so far away
This landscape was just another man's plan, I know
A little white noise in the black sand
But the signal's gone cold
But oh, my love
I know, is there to stay
And oh, I know
I know
I know
