Locust

Once we were an empire, you and I
But where love once reigned it’s all locust skies
And the army has headed home

It’s 4.00, I’m awake in the dark
Watch your chest rise and fall like the cities of old
In this kingdom we would once die for

If you look you can still see the marks
Where we danced right through our vaulted parts
Before this whole thing caved in

Parades would pass through our touch
But now those gates have rusted shut
Our anthem was ‘All Is Full Of Love’
Now look at us
We’re in ruins
Ruins

Once we were an empire, you and I
But where love once reigned it’s all locust skies
And the army has headed home

The skyline that I just can’t forget
I can still make out our silhouette
From the glory days of us

Parades would pass through our touch
But now those gates have rusted shut
Our anthem was ‘All Is Full Of Love’
Now look at us
We’re in ruins
Ruins

Once we were an empire, you and I
But where love once reigned it’s all locust skies
And the army has headed home
