Lyrics …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead – The Far Pavilions
Text:
New horizons, unclaimed land
Await us beyond the walls of our cantonment
I’ll return
To the Far Pavilions
You were raised on the edge of this unnamed ghost town
I’ll return
To the Far Pavilions
There, a million
Far pavilions
Gaze down from up on their heights
Where their eyes, full of wonder, wait to greet you
And as you climb, feel the world you know divided up
Above and below
Let the roads lead you back
To those places you lived, brick fields full of cut glass
I’ll return
To the Far Pavilions
Where the sidewalks strangled you
As you cradled your friend as he died from a gun wound
I’ll return
To the Far Pavilions
Past love and hatred
Lies our greatness
Gaze down from up on their heights
Where their eyes, full of wonder, wait to greet you
And as you climb, feel the world you know divided up
Above and below
Gaze down from up on their heights
Where their eyes, full of wonder, wait to greet you
Above and below
Above and below
‘Cause I will return
I may come
