Dirt Poor Robins
No Land Beyond
[Verse 1]
The lunatic becomes unfixed at night
For there he finds: a flooded sky of judging eyes
Haunted by the court divine
The panic drives away his mind and its disguises
[Pre-Chorus]
He is not alone, we’re not alone
[Chorus]
For us, there was no land
No land beyond the edges of our outstretched hands
Can we beggars understand more than our appetite demands?
For us, there was no land
No land beyond, no land beyond
[Verse 2]
My kingdom come, my will be done
All trials shunned, I must be loved by everyone
I know if I wasn’t so terrified
I might see the light, not as a flame or end of life
[Chorus]
For us, there was no land
No land beyond the edges of our outstretched hands
Can we beggars understand more than our appetite demands?
For us, there was no land
No land beyond, no land beyond
[Bridge]
The world is too much with us, late and soon
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon
Getting and spending, we lay waste to powers
Little we see in nature that's ours, that is ours
That is ours, that is ours
That is ours, that is ours
[Refrain]
If you don’t know why the bell tolls
You’ll only hear the chimes
If you don’t know of the language spoken
You’ll only hear the rhymes
If you don’t know why the bell tolls (In the end)
You’ll only hear the chimes (We're all mad men)
If you don’t know of the language spoken (In the end)
You’ll only hear the rhymes (We're all mad men)
If you don’t know why the bell tolls
(In the end) (When the world is upside down)
You’ll only hear the chimes
(We're all mad men) (Follow the fool for solid ground)
If you don’t know of the language spoken
(In the end) (When the world is upside down)
You’ll only hear the rhymes
(We're all mad men) (Follow the fool for solid ground)
If you don’t know why the bell tolls
(In the end) (When the world is upside down)
You’ll only hear the chimes
(We're all mad men) (Follow the fool for solid ground)
If you don’t know of the language spoken
(In the end) (When the world is upside down)
You’ll only hear the rhymes
(We're all mad men) (Follow the fool for solid ground)
