if you wish to rule the land
and draw straight lines upon a map
if you prefer the fist to the hand
just watch out for the knife in your back
for the sea
and the captive crow
for the flower
that cannot grow
for the sand
when the tide is low
if you wish to be redeemed
if you're burstin' at the seams
there will come a time of ancient knowing
when your age is showing
for the sea
and the captive crow
for the flower
that cannot grow
for the sand
when the tide is low
