After its all gone Itll be so clear There were hundreds of ways out But only one way here When the citys a bone and desert And the farms are poisoned dirt Youll start looking for answers Youll start looking where you hurt Oh Mary Is it too late? Is every word an echo Does every song fade? Will you be standing Under a black and silver sky By my side By the graves On our death day Theres a vulture with his head down The captains butchering Gunga Din He calls for darkness and darkness comes Our fellow slaves invite it in But not you my beloved Youre all thats good in this world And while the night feels stuck and endless The roads half lit, the moons a pearl Oh Mary Is it too late? Is every word an echo Does every song fade? Will you be standing Under a black and silver sky By my side By the graves On our death day When all hope is gone All thats left is hope Its not absent from this song Though my voice wont tell you so But why should I explain? Whats been obvious and plain Youre in every book ever written All youve ever known were these chains Oh but Mary Is it too late? Is every word an echo Does every song fade? Will you be standing Under a black and silver sky By my side By the graves On our death day
