Part I: The Mining Town Look at this canyon, There was once a bustlin', mining town Before the water broke Drowning every soul, taking everything I had. Look at this canyon, There was once a bustlin', mining town Before the water broke Drowning every soul, taking everything I had. The sun was high atop the trees, People trying to fill their needs. Wives and children sittin' home enjoying a summer day. There was no warning from above, There was no remorse Nothing could stop such mighty waves. Do you remember the rocks giving way, The helpless feeling? Yes, I remember the rocks giving way, The helpless feeling... And from the moonlight, I saw you Part II: The Bird & The Wind Flightless bird, won't you stop these flames? These embers wrought down to destroy the frames. Forgotten and destroyed, our drowned souls will die down. Rising wind, halt your marching beat Lest these embers grow much higher, And this ruthless wave of heat Bring us forth to admire this our drowned funeral pyre. Part III: The Moonlight From the moonlight, I saw you Oh, rising wind, flightless bird...
