The first song in The Naturalist, “Wave Goodbye to the Age of Man” is a bit of a melancholy tune–as the title suggests. While asking many typical questions about the end of days, or rather the end of Man, singer-songwriter Coyote Wall is also, specifically, asking what you think.
Throughout the son...
[Chorus]
Wave goodbye to the age of man
There is nothing new on the horizon
If there's a God above
Do you think he's got a plan?
Or do you think he sits up there cryin'?
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 1]
And some folks say
That the trumpets will sound
And the end of the world
Will have meaning
But if I'm to be fair
That just isn't what I found
It is history forever
Repeating
[Chorus]
Wave goodbye to the age of man
There is nothing new on the horizon
If there's a God above
Do you think he's got a plan?
Or do you think he sits up there cryin'?
[Verse 2]
Eyes of fire
And a heart of cold
And the iron of its skin
Cracked and rusted
But at last, at last
May the devil take its soul
And in that may there
Finally be justice
[Interlude]
Won't you wave goodbye to the age of man?
There ain't nothin' new on the horizon
And if there's a God above
Do you think he's got a plan?
Or do you think he sits up there cryin'?
[Verse 3]
So salt the Earth
And spit in the wound
Let the hate fill your heart
And unmake you
There will be no light
In that cold, empty room
But you'll wait there
As long as it takes you
[Chorus]
Wave goodbye to the age of man
There is nothing new on the horizon
If there's a God above
Do you think he's got a plan?
Or do you think he sits up there cryin'?
[Chorus]
So wave goodbye to the age of man
There is nothing new on the horizon
If there's a God above
Do you think he's got a plan?
Or do you think he sits up there cryin'?
[Repeats & Fades]
