Lyrics

[verse 1]
Where do I begin?
I've got blood on my hands
and I'm bleeding slowly
and if they find me
I will go quietly
Because I once dreamed up a storm
it was eight miles wide
 all consuming
with midnight approaching 
it came and blew your life away

[chorus]
After all this time
what is your life?
After all this time
the world's still the same size
what is your life?

[verse 2]
Meanwhile back on the farm
Uncle Henry is lost
within foreclosure
Usury renders the honest
Surrender to their knees
But no more waiting, yearning, praying
For something to change
It might as well come right now
Bear your arms against 
the ego's of our ancestry
But I'm not saying 
to go crazy
in this time of war
but kidnapping a banker
for ransom
is something that should happen
just a little more

[chorus]
After all this time
what is your life?
After all this time
the world's still the same size
what is your life?
