Prayer Flags

I met a Moko man from the other side
 The room began to capsize as he was telling me his tales
 And all my beliefs and best belongings
 were flying useless through the air
 And when they all were lost - then we were brothers
 By the wheel the tellers stands shaking numbers from his hands
 His face is masked and his coats tails are waring
 He cries 'round and round and round she goes
 Where she lands nobody knows, but hey thank you for asking'
 The prayer flags are flying in the wind
 In the last days of winter, just a few of us remained
 We built a fire of remembrance on the frozen land
 And as the sparks flew up into the night to dance around the stars
 Beneath our very feet the ground was shifting
 The prayer flags are flying in the wind
 The prayer wheels spinning in the wind
 And there she blows â " our time is gone
 And in the womb a new head is beginng to turn
 Beyond these Carnival lights there is nothing at all
 Just the distant screams and the endless fall
 A single drop of rain falls on my windscreen
 We're closer to the very edge than we realise
 The bridges all have been washed away or bombed out
 And the water runs fast and black and cold...
 The prayer flags are flying in the wind
 The prayer wheels spinning in the wind
