As the ages pass us by
They finding us reaching for a light
In endless night
Left to question who we are
And if we’ll ever find a place
In this life
The mask is gone
Three hundred years
A tale untold
They hide their fear
Where has it gone?
Where is the nation that I thought I knew?
What do we know
What is it really that we gain
You’v e got a shadow on your grave
A false constellation that you have made
You’ve got a shadow on your grave
The bells of time ring out for your name
A grave, a nation
So what is it that is left
What is it that we built
A monument
To an idea, washed away
A beaten tattered flag
Raised in honor of a dream
A memory
Of what had never came to pass
You’v e got a shadow on your grave
A false constellation that you’ve made
The bells of time ring out for your name
You’ve got a shadow on your grave
A grave, a nation, a shadow
