The Far Pavilions - ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

New horizons, unclaimed land

Await us beyond the walls of our cantonment

I’ll return

To the Far Pavilions

You can’t let it get you down

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

And as you climb, feel the world you know divided up

Above and below

Above and below

'Cause I will return

I may come
