Lyrics

Album version
[Verse 1]

I'm tired of tending to this fire

I've used up all I've collected

I have singed my hands

It's glowing, embers barely showing

Proof of life in the shadows

Dancing on my plans


[Chorus]

They know that it's almost

They know that it's almost over

They know that it's almost

They know that it's almost over


[Verse 2]

The burning is so low it's concerning

'Cause they know that when it goes out

It's a glorious gone

It's only time before they show me

Why no one ever comes back

With details from beyond


[Chorus]

They know that it's almost

They know that it's almost over

They know that it's almost

They know that it's almost over

(They know)

They know that it's almost over

(They know)

They know that it's almost over

(They know)

(They know)

(They know)

(They know)


[Bridge]

In time, I will leave the city

For now, I will stay alive

In time, I will leave the city

For now, I will stay alive

In time, I will leave the city

For now, I will stay alive

In time, I will leave the city

For now, I will stay alive


[Chorus]

They know that it's almost

They know that it's almost over

They know that it's almost

They know that it's almost over

(They know)

(They know)


[Verse 3]

Last year I needed change of pace

Couldn't take the pace of change

Moving hastily

But this year, though I'm far from home

In Trench I'm not alone

These faces facin' me


[Outro]

They know

They know

What I mean
