lyrics

I sailed in on an ancient ship,
I cut the cord and carried it,
I braved the autumn waves until I won.

Well I dug up from an ancient grave
I crawled through corridors and there I came
rushing out into the hall.

I stormed in and killed the king,
I watched him weep, I watched him bleed.
I carried with me all the weight of god.

Don't wait until the world is falling on you.
There's time until the seasons change again.
Don't wait until the world is falling on you.
There's time until the seasons change again.

I blew in on an ancient sail.
I was the captain's son until I recognized
those eyes aren't mine.

I swam ashore, I jumped the ship,
I swam so far and quickly 'til
I saw the distant mountain in my view.

I climbed that rocky peak, and
the view up there led me to see,
there's no more wisdom up in all the clouds.

Don't wait until the world is falling on you.
There's time until the seasons change again.
Don't wait until the world is falling on you.
There's time until the seasons change again.

Well I stormed in, I killed the king.
The captain's son, the autumn leaves,
the family name and age that died in me.

So there I ran into the night,
I ran with fear and ran with fright,
the epitaph, the exposition sang:

Don't wait until the world is falling on you.
There's time until the seasons change again.
Don't wait until the world is falling on you.
There's time until the seasons change again.

I stormed in, I killed the king,
the captain's son, the autumn leaves...
