[Verse 1]

Here we

Go on the arc of the high and the

Low, the tippin' point of the to and the

Fro, though the seed blossoms slow

It is now as it was long ago, you reap whatcha

Sow and the wind still blows

The fire still burns and the water still flows

Buried in the earth where the life still grows

The heart still knows, and it tell you where to go

So I crossed over mountains and I sat above the plains

Couldn't shake the feelin' that I'm part of somethin' strange

Off-white glazed eyes under my shades

Gotta embrace the chaos and just leave it up to fate

Whether buildings suffocate the sky and hide it from me

Or the land stretches flat for as far as the eye can see

Lines run deep, from the ancient dust of the red centre

To the grey pavement of the inner city trendsetters

[Chorus 1/Collision]

The newest era of the human error

The water still flows, the wind still blows

The life still grows, the heart still knows

The water still flows, the wind still blows

The life still grows, the heart still knows

The water still flows, the wind still blows

The life still grows, the heart still knows

While the world conspires, we

The water still flows, the wind still blows

Try to read the omens

The life still grows, the heart still knows

The water still flows, the wind still blows

The life still grows, the heart still knows

See the form take shape as

The water still flows, the wind still blows

Power changes hands

The life still grows, the heart still knows

The water still flows, the wind still blows

The life still grows, the heart still knows

It's the human era

The water still flows, the wind still blows

Made of fleeting moments

The life still grows, the heart still knows

The water still flows, the wind still blows

The life still grows, the heart still knows

As the rock breaks down and

The water still flows, the wind still blows

Slowly turns to sand

The life still grows, the heart still knows

The water still flows, the wind still blows

And on and on it goes

[Verse 2]

So we

Figure-eight, just goin' through the motions

Snapshots coming in and out of focus

The Mayans, Aztecs and the Romans

Each seized their moment to bear the onus

What's spanned across times and places

Gets left behind in faint traces

Throughout the ages, the sands of time shift

As we drift, just lookin' for that oasis, chasin'

[Chorus 2/Collision]

The rise and fall of things big and small

We sit poised in the middle of it all, the rise and fall

Of all things big and small

We sit poised in the middle of it all, the rise and fall

Of all things big and small

We sit poised in the middle of it all, the rise and fall

Of all things big and small

We sit poised in the middle of it all, the rise and fall

While the world conspires, we

Of all things big and small

Try to read the omens

We sit poised in the middle of it all, the rise and fall

Of all things big and small

We sit poised in the middle of it all, the rise and fall

See the form take shape as

Of all things big and small

Power changes hands

We sit poised in the middle of it all, the rise and fall

Of all things big and small

We sit poised in the middle of it all

It's the human era

Made of fleeting moments

As the rock breaks down and

Slowly turns to sand
