Speaker For The Dead Lyrics

Beaches make the sand white

Make the sand all romantic and shit.

Palm trees, branches, imagine them

Green light and shining with pride

Oh arrogant island being buried in humility

Like the beaches were buried in ash.



Who will remember you now?

Billows and billows see the smoke rise

Smoke stack for every sin

But did they believe that

At the center of the island was a volcano? Oh no.

Oh no

Who will remember you now?

You're dead and gone.



We came here on a plane,

Just a couple of scientists

Among the ruins and remains

This island could have been saved,



But some people just choose death

And can't see a way out

Till their bones are all that's left,

Their chests were hollowed out

But some people never know,

Too caught up in the beautiful

But their heart's a volcano.
