[Verse 1]
Sometime between ice ages that they first appeared
Fell hungry on the beasts and fish they speared

[Chorus]
But all their bones are blackened
And their faces are no more
As we walk among the ruins by the shore

[Verse 2]
They worshipped gods and thought they’d never die
But now the spiders nest the tombs wherein they lie

[Chorus]
But all their bones are blackened
And their faces are no more
As we walk among the ruins by the shore

[Verse 3]
They dreamed of golden cities raised into the air
But greed drew their simple hearts into its snare

[Chorus]
But all their bones are blackened
And their faces are no more
As we walk among the ruins by the shore

[Verse 4]
Kings, tyrants and their empires on the Earth held sway
Their belief in science took their souls away

[Chorus]
But all their bones are blackened
And their faces are no more
As we walk among the ruins by the shore

[Verse 5]
We search the heavens and the silent skies
Hoping that light will fall on blinded eyes
[Chorus]
But all our bones will blacken
And our faces be no more
As we lay among the ruins by the shore
As we lay among the ruins by the shore
