Sentry
Waiting in the setting sun at the end of the road
The armies have moved away like the fading gold
I stand sentry by the rusting gate but no one comes
Nothing moves this way in the valley of stone
And the evening shadows steal across the hills
And only the seasons change
Only the seasons change
Only the seasons change
I've seen so much more than I wanted to see
The flies all swarming round in the blistering heat
Layer upon layer here of the same old curse
The red blood draining until the blood red earth
In the end we tell the stories just the same
And only the names are changed
Only the names are changed
Only the names are changed
The empires rising, falling like the seas
Their voices are just the whispers in the trees
I lock the chain upon the gate for the end of the day
Clean the gun that I'll never use, lay it away
And the stars spread like splinters of the sun
And only the seasons change
Only the seasons change
Only the seasons change
Only the seasons change
Only the seasons change
Only the seasons change
The armies have moved away like the fading gold
I stand sentry by the rusting gate but no one comes
Nothing moves this way in the valley of stone
And the evening shadows steal across the hills
And only the seasons change
Only the seasons change
Only the seasons change
I've seen so much more than I wanted to see
The flies all swarming round in the blistering heat
Layer upon layer here of the same old curse
The red blood draining until the blood red earth
In the end we tell the stories just the same
And only the names are changed
Only the names are changed
Only the names are changed
The empires rising, falling like the seas
Their voices are just the whispers in the trees
I lock the chain upon the gate for the end of the day
Clean the gun that I'll never use, lay it away
And the stars spread like splinters of the sun
And only the seasons change
Only the seasons change
Only the seasons change
Only the seasons change
Only the seasons change
Only the seasons change
