[Verse 1]
Here we
Go on the arc of the high and the
Low, the tippin' point of the to and the
Fro, though the seed blossoms slow
It is now as it was long ago, you reap whatcha
Sow and the wind still blows
The fire still burns and the water still flows
Buried in the earth where the life still grows
The heart still knows, and it tell you where to go
So I crossed over mountains and I sat above the plains
Couldn't shake the feelin' that I'm part of somethin' strange
Off-white glazed eyes under my shades
Gotta embrace the chaos and just leave it up to fate
Whether buildings suffocate the sky and hide it from me
Or the land stretches flat for as far as the eye can see
Lines run deep, from the ancient dust of the red centre
To the grey pavement of the inner city trendsetters
[Chorus 1/Collision]
The newest era of the human error
The water still flows, the wind still blows
The life still grows, the heart still knows
The water still flows, the wind still blows
The life still grows, the heart still knows
The water still flows, the wind still blows
The life still grows, the heart still knows
While the world conspires, we
The water still flows, the wind still blows
Try to read the omens
The life still grows, the heart still knows
The water still flows, the wind still blows
The life still grows, the heart still knows
See the form take shape as
The water still flows, the wind still blows
Power changes hands
The life still grows, the heart still knows
The water still flows, the wind still blows
The life still grows, the heart still knows
It's the human era
The water still flows, the wind still blows
Made of fleeting moments
The life still grows, the heart still knows
The water still flows, the wind still blows
The life still grows, the heart still knows
As the rock breaks down and
The water still flows, the wind still blows
Slowly turns to sand
The life still grows, the heart still knows
The water still flows, the wind still blows
And on and on it goes
[Verse 2]
So we
Figure-eight, just goin' through the motions
Snapshots coming in and out of focus
The Mayans, Aztecs and the Romans
Each seized their moment to bear the onus
What's spanned across times and places
Gets left behind in faint traces
Throughout the ages, the sands of time shift
As we drift, just lookin' for that oasis, chasin'
[Chorus 2/Collision]
The rise and fall of things big and small
We sit poised in the middle of it all, the rise and fall
Of all things big and small
We sit poised in the middle of it all, the rise and fall
Of all things big and small
We sit poised in the middle of it all, the rise and fall
Of all things big and small
We sit poised in the middle of it all, the rise and fall
While the world conspires, we
Of all things big and small
Try to read the omens
We sit poised in the middle of it all, the rise and fall
Of all things big and small
We sit poised in the middle of it all, the rise and fall
See the form take shape as
Of all things big and small
Power changes hands
We sit poised in the middle of it all, the rise and fall
Of all things big and small
We sit poised in the middle of it all
It's the human era
Made of fleeting moments
As the rock breaks down and
Slowly turns to sand
