Dead a Long Time

Ages since I had a place to be
Eons since I bother to keep score
I was there when mountains burned the sea
I was there when cannons roared
I've been dead so long, been dead for all these years
I see the whole world all at once
I see the ash, I see the tears

Little children littering the shore
I watched them turning into stone
Already dead when they were born
Like me now they're all alone
I've been dead so long, been dead for all this time
I see the whole world all at once
I see the dust, I see the lime

You got your face turned to the sun
You know that bastard never blinks
Admire the beach the ocean spun
But I'm the rain down in the deep
I've been dead so long, forgot about my life
I see the whole world all at once
No longer calculate the time
