And when the land begins to call
The sprites they dance
The leaves they fall
The change's begun
and what remains
Not even thoughts ?not even names
We can remember can forget
We can achieve the highest aims
But we won't change the rules we're depending on

Don't you feel the earth is trembling to heal
the wounds we injured to her heart
The things are easy as they are
And when the land begins to call
The sprites they dance
The leaves they fall
The change's begun
and what remains
Not even thoughts ?not even names
And when the time begins to fade
The side-scene changes because it's late
We cannot keep ?we drop the ball
For now the land begins to call
