[Verse 1]
An army charges upon the land
To the sound of retreat
This is bigger than us
A stronger wind is blowing
[Verse 2]
Blowing from paradise
Into the world to come
Progress is its name
Death nods its head
[Chorus]
First the dead
Then the living
Call their names
Like a legion
[Verse 3]
Their steps are retreating
Out of the earth and the sea
Back to the beginning of time
An endless beach
[Verse 4]
Where a table has been set for one
With salt and water
Lay down the kid
And turn around and leave
[Chorus]
First the dead
Then the living
Call their names
Like a legion
