The Rise and Fall of Ooo Mau - Primitive Radio Gods

I've seen the sunlight shining on the valley I've seen the shadows darken on the deep I've seen the young men riding out for glory And broken in defeat There was an hour that never knew a gloaming The whole of life, enchanted in a day And we'll be there, forever in the places Where we used to be Passing the hedgerows, moving through the orchards Through the bocàge and breaking out for Caen Dealing fear and all our dices loaded With the courage of the dawn And some will rise and some will fall To gain the world or lose it all And that time was mine to hear you When you called You were our youngest, brightest flower Walking side by side through our darkest hour We'll take this cup, this portion evermore I've seen the last wave breaking on the beaches I've seen the angels crying on the wire I've seen the first star up and brightly shining Couldn't rise much higher Now we're waiting here not getting older But we can dream like we can not believe With all those fools, those great historic moments That flatter to deceive. And some will come and some will go To rise on wings in skies of gold Or to fall down to the final, silent cold When I was young it burned so bright The only son, a rising Christ Now I'm left here in the fall-out of that light The rise and fall The rise and fall The rise and fall The rise and fall The rise And fall
