lyrics

Wake up Jacob
No need to make the long long climb
It’s enough to stay down here and multiply
12 is fine

Greeks and Romans
You sure as hell did take your time
Defining what we now call civilized
Have some wine

And we’ll raise a glass or eight to barbarians at the gate
Is your cellar full? Are you comfortable?
Then it’s too late

Down through the centuries
Each turn they took defines what you will find
Now all these memories you never had are stuck inside your mind

And I know you do
You have that sleepy look of pain
And a troubled smile when things don’t stay the same
Just like Cain

Sultans, princes, pharaohs, kings and caliphates
I’d love to stay but hey it’s getting late
It’s been great
So let’s raise a glass or four to barbarians at the door
It’s only sociable plus it’s not negotiable anymore
Not anymore
