Lyrics
We dig for the gods that leave no bones For the ship that sailed in the sunken sea The vessel lost in the sky and stones The famine road, and the merchants keep Come and search, for we would search And looking for a scarred land Turn the soil, weave a dream Thread the river, ring the sand And dig for those whose stories lie With buried pasts and futures won And dig for us as we have done To lay the dead out in the sun To lay us dead out in the sun Coins for the eyes and keys for the door Fortress, grave goods, chambered tomb Abandoned villages, rumours of war We dig for pattern, read the rune And so a clue to who we are And where we were and why we will Inheritors of knowledge now And ancestors to those who still might Dig for those whose stories lie With buried pasts and futures won And dig for us as we have done To lay the dead out in the sun To lay us dead out in the sun
