Tonight we drink to stealth
Blowing in
Off the continental shelf
O'er the mountains and bogs
Hanging like a fog,
Clouding the mists of time.
It'll never clear,
Like a ringing in your ear.
Raise you voice above the din
Say what you like -
You'll never win
Tonight we drink
To mark
The passing of time,
The endless drives,
Through dying towns,
The distant voices
Of the people,
Ringing in the empty streets
And dreary steeples,
Tonight.
