oh from far and away they came 
oh from far and away 
oh battling giants with chains 
on the crest of a wave 
oh when the darkness rose 
oh it came with a squall 
first 
first there were shouts then they froze 
and all were silenced by the wall 
wall of water 
oh the walls of the deep 
walls i'd rather not keep 
walls made of wire 
oh the walls in the ground 
walls i'm no longer building oh 
i'm tearing them down 
oh to far and away they fled 
oh to far and away 
carrying emptiness 
on the backs of their dead 
but oh when the new day rose 
oh there was room for them all 
first 
they spread ashes and seeds 
all along the ruins of the wall 
walls of the desert 
oh the walls of the sand 
walls that no longer stand 
walls made of wire 
oh the walls in the ground 
walls i'm no longer building oh 
wall of water 
oh the walls of the deep 
walls i'd rather not keep 
walls made of wire 
oh the walls in the ground 
walls i'm no longer building oh 
i'm tearing them down 
oh from far and away they sang 
oh from far and away
