The Ocean and the Sun by The Sound of Animals Fighting Lyrics
There’s a line, there’s a dozen more
Wrapping in a room, your country doors
There’s a man, he’s holding a pitcher of water
Follow him into the house
Every age has said, we will come, we’ll come again
You will never get, up as close, as you expect
This house is a holy place, you don’t ever have to leave
Every age has said, we will call, we’ll come again
And there are no signs
(of the end, so just don’t keep on going on and on) x3
(of the end, so just don’t keep on going to the end)
The biggest lie we tell ourselves
We’re already in hell
Light shines on us, our bases are covered
Light shines upon us, our bases are covered
There’s a man, that poor hollow spawn
Throughout the corridor
There’s a light and there’s a dozen more
Wrapping in and around the country doors
Every age has said, we will come, we’ll come again
(This is the last time this will happen)
You will never get, up as close, as you expect
(This is the last time this will happen)
This house is a holy place, you don’t ever have to leave
(This is the last time this will happen)
Every age has said, we will call, we’ll come again
We are taught to think of our success
In terms of numbers aren't we
If touching one persons life is a good thing, then touching one thousand people's lives must be a great thing
It’s easy to see where we learned to think this way
Our whole society revolves around mass production
The more units we can move
The more customers we can serve
The more votes we can get
The more money and the more stuff we have, the better, right?
Maybe it’s not possible to touch one thousand people as deeply, or as powerfully as one person, or ten people
Maybe it’s not really so revolutionary after all, to have one person out of a group of twenty, tell everybody else what’s right
Wouldn’t it be better if we tried a decentralized approach where everyone works closely with those around them, instead of a few people waiting in anonymous mass?
Do you have to save the world all by yourselves?
Why don’t you trust anyone else to do it with you?
Wrapping in a room, your country doors
There’s a man, he’s holding a pitcher of water
Follow him into the house
Every age has said, we will come, we’ll come again
You will never get, up as close, as you expect
This house is a holy place, you don’t ever have to leave
Every age has said, we will call, we’ll come again
And there are no signs
(of the end, so just don’t keep on going on and on) x3
(of the end, so just don’t keep on going to the end)
The biggest lie we tell ourselves
We’re already in hell
Light shines on us, our bases are covered
Light shines upon us, our bases are covered
There’s a man, that poor hollow spawn
Throughout the corridor
There’s a light and there’s a dozen more
Wrapping in and around the country doors
Every age has said, we will come, we’ll come again
(This is the last time this will happen)
You will never get, up as close, as you expect
