And they said we wouldn't last

And they said the years would break our backs

So here we are again my friend

To mystify their narrow plans



You and I were meant to be

Much more than they could see

You and I were meant to stay

As they waste away



Chorus:

We are shaping the space

And harvesting places

We're the princes of the universe

We are living together

In the here-after

In the temple of the evening Son

We're the princes of the universe



It's prophecy of long ago

It's a blueprint for the journey home

And we're writing as we stumble on

Making history to build upon



You and I will always be

Much more than they can see

You and I are made of clay

And we'll waste away



Chorus



Bridge:

And the raven in the tower clock

Spins poetry and devil talk,

And the woman by the endless well

She's drawing water from the mouth of hell

"And these are the days", she says and
