Milk and Honey Lyrics

INTRO: G D C D
Oh, what fools these mortals be
So tragic and so funny
Ships of bones that sail the sea
For lands of milk and honey
The promise of perfection sighs
Into each mortal ear
Never to be realized
That's how it is 'round here
Bound to some relentless gyre
Dispassionate and true
Paying the price for ice and fire
That's what god's children do
Sacrifice love's mystery
For fantasy and pleasure
Doomed to repeat history
Forever and ever
Wayward world I weep for thee
Spinning 'round the sun
Wellspring of diversity
Your roads all lead to one road
What man has loosed upon the sea
Cannot be undone
Oh, what fools we mortals be
Each and every one
Each and every one
