No Longer There (Radio Edit)

I know you'd like to hear a song
'Cause everything's all right
The temperature is warm
The fire horses sleep
So gently comes the night

Now close your eyes and stare
The ground they're on is bare
But once it was as deep
And wild as giant's dreams
It's no longer there

And all of our desires
Could mirror skies with flames
And smoke out heaven's halls
Who was that you called
They're no longer there

Here it goes again
Here it goes again
Here it goes again

What would you leave behind when all your fields are dead?
When your territories are dried out and your cities drowned and swept
What would you leave behind
When those who bear your name are born in that place that you wrecked?
What would you leave behind when you're no longer there?

And would you sail to distant shores?
And hide within the haze
Softly close your doors
Pretend the world is safe
And wait for heaven's call

Or would you turn and face the seas
And come beside your cave
There's chance but if you dare
And swift as honor's steeds
Before it's no longer there

Here it goes again
Here it goes again
Here it goes again

What would you leave behind when all your fields are dead?
When your territories are dried out and your cities drowned and swept
What would you leave behind
When those who bear your name are born in that place that you wrecked?
What would you leave behind when you're no longer there?

To deny or to despair
It's really just the same
Everything between
It means we have to change
'Cause when no one forgets

The world begins to fade
And all the shapes and shades
That made the colors see
When they suddenly turned gray
Then they're no longer there
