The fire burns out into the night,
The sun leaves a black hole in the sky
That can't be filled
By anyone, we're all left behind,
The smoke dances out along
The bridges that you built,
They will go on, after you've gone
They will go on...
The rampant monster tore your Irish heart
You fought a battle that could not be won
Sorry, God's not here, please leave a message after the tone
But the bridges that you built, they will go on.
The stone and earth are oh so cold,
A God of Bridges I was told
Exists, where was he
When the unclean thing took hold?
Was he, is he watching over
The bridges that you built?
They will go on, after you've gone
They will go on...
The rampant monster tore your Irish heart
You fought a battle that could not be won
Sorry, God's not here, please leave a message after the tone
But the bridges that you built, they will go on.
Sometimes all you can do is try
The God of Bridges was a lie
I couldn't bring myself to say goodbye
The God of Bridges is a lie
And with you any faith I had left
Withered, crumbled and died
And as you cross the final bridge,
I hope you find something better than this
Waiting for you on the other side.
