Song Lyrics

In golden Hannibal Carthage days marchin' onto Rome
Knockin' on the door and findin' nobody home there
Rome she cut our armies down and left them in the snow
So now I go to where I come from now I go home to the sun

When the earth moves again
When the earth moves again my friend
Let the lady ride on through
When the earth moves again

Egyptian kings they sing of Gods and pyramids of stone
And they left the deserts clean and they left the deserts golden
And shinin' as a beacon for those that need a road
Into the day and through the night we go and find our way home

When the earth moves again
My love to all the people I leave behind
Search out the new ground around you
When the earth moves again

Your head can pull your body around
Leave whenever you can find the ground
Take what you find on the land sea foam glass is sand

If you've only lived on earth you've never seen the sun
Or the promise of a thousand other suns that glow beyond here
And if you care to see the future look into the eyes
Of your young dancing children don't be afraid of our ways
When the earth moves again
When the earth moves again, my friend
Watch the lady ride and sigh
When the earth moves again
Moses, Moses the red sea closes over you when you least expect it to
When the earth moves again
When the earth moves again
