[Verse] The dust settles hard on the red clay road Where the ghost of a giant used to tread He left his shadow like a heavy load And the words that the holy man never said I saw the sun dipping low in the valley Painting the rocks with a bleeding hue While the merchants in the hidden alley Sold the old dreams for something new [Verse] He went down where the water won't flow With a heart like a stone in a dry well Watching the tall yellow grasses grow Over the secrets he promised to tell Now the wind carries a different sound Moving through the leaves of the baobab tree Picking up the pieces off the ground Of a man who forgot how to be free [Chorus] You died for the pride of a broken crown Spitting your truth in the face of the storm While the walls of the city came crumbling down And the cold took the place of the warm The earth doesn't care for the names we give Or the medals we pin to a hollow chest It only knows that the ones who live Are the ones who can finally rest [Bridge] There is a hole in the sky where the light falls through A gap in the fence where the cattle roam Everything we thought that we knew Was just a long way of heading home The prophets are silent and the drums are still The fire has burnt to a silver ash Working the land with a stubborn will Waiting for the sudden lightning flash [Verse] They talk about him in the marketplace now Linking his name to a faded cause With a furrowed brow and a solemn vow And a moment of heavy artificial pause But the hills don't move and the rivers don't bend Just because a hero decided to fall Every beginning looks like an end When you are standing against the wall [Verse] The boots are worn and the laces are torn The harvest is thin on the rocky slope Better to be lonely than to be forlorn Clinging to the ragged edges of hope I walked past the place where he took his stand Under the weight of the midday heat Finding nothing but the shifting sand And the steady rhythm of my own feet [Chorus] You died for the pride of a broken crown Spitting your truth in the face of the storm While the walls of the city came crumbling down And the cold took the place of the warm The earth doesn't care for the names we give Or the medals we pin to a hollow chest It only knows that the ones who live Are the ones who can finally rest
