Cat Empire No Longer There Lyrics

No Longer There Lyrics

I know you'd like to hear a song

that sings everything's alright

the
temperature is warm 

the fire horses sleep 

so gently comes the
night.. 

Now close your eyes and stare 

the ground they're on is
bare

but once it was as deep 

and wild as giant's dreams



They're no longer there



And all of our desires

could mirror
skies with flames

smoke out heaven's halls

who was that you
called?



They're no longer there.



Here it goes again,


here it goes again,

here it goes again.



What would
you leave behind when all your fields are dead? 

When your territories
are dried out and your cities drowned and swept? 

What would you leave
behind when those who bear your name are born to that place that you
wrecked?



What would you leave behind when you're no longer
there?



Would you sail to distant shores

and hide within the
haze

softly close the door

pretend the world was saved

and
wait for heaven's call?



Or would you turn and face the sea

and calm decide you care

There's chance but if you dare

and swift
as honour's steeds

before it's no longer there



Here it goes
again...



To deny or despair,

they're really just the
same

and everything between

it means we have to change.

Cos
when a one forgets

their world begins to fade

And all the shapes
and shades

that made their colours see

well they suddenly turn
grey



Then they're no longer there
