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
