lyrics

Hail, oh hail the architect
His silken billows, minarets
Know not the weight of iron wrought
On battered shoulders buckled broad
Worn by the wasted time
They don't build them like they used to

Thy son is in a foreign clime
Where Ida tends a nameless flock, they
Know not of the pastures greener
Keep us in our woolen stock
How far the mighty fall

Hail, oh hail the architect
His sunken ships by friendly fire, they
Suffer without ceremony
Silent in their testimony
When the curtain calls, my god
How far the mighty fall

And if I go
Oh, if I go
Well I
Wonder if you’d look down on me
Wonder if the sky is falling
Wonder where I’ll get to
If I go

And with that the architect
Stepped into never waking sleep, but
Better this than dare to linger
Where it’s no longer built for me

Suffer the little children
Carry them unto me, my darling
Suffer the little children
Carry them unto me
