And they said we wouldn't last
And they said the years would break our backs
So here we are again my friend

Chorus:
We are shaping the spaces
And harvesting places
We're the princes of the universe
We are living together
In the here-everafter
In the temple of the evening Son
We're the princes of the universe
It's a prophecy of long ago
It's a blueprint for the journey home
And we're writing as we stumble on
Making history to build upon
You and I will always be
Much more than they could see
You and I are meant to stay
As we'll waste away

And the woman by the endless well
She's drawing water from the mouth of hell
"And these are the days", she says and
