  • New horizons, unclaimed lands
    Await us beyond the walls of our cantonment
    (I'll return to the Far Pavilions)
    You can't let it get you down
    You were raised on the edge of this unnamed ghost town
    (I'll return to the Far Pavilions)
    There, a million far Pavilions

    Gaze down from upon their heights
    Where their eyes, full of wonder, wait to greet you
    As you rise, feel the world you know divided up
    Above and below

    Let the roads lead you back
    To those places you lived
    Brick fields full of cut glass
    (I'll return to the Far Pavilions)
    Where the sidewalks strangled you
    As you cradled your friend as he died from gun wound
    (I'll return to the Far Pavilions)
    Past love and hatred lies our greatness

    Gaze down from upon their heights
    Where their eyes, full of wonder, wait to greet you
    As you rise, feel the world you know divided up
    Above and below Publisher: 2004 STEAL OUR MUSIC
