Saw a film about Anselm Kiefer which is where the title came from. But really this song is all about the shortness and impermanence of life. Us humans have already neared extinction at certain times in the past you know..but we survived to tell about it.

lyrics

Placing life in perspective looking back now we don't last for long
And who will remember who you were when you're gone
If you left an impression maybe somebody might know it someday
And if you asked only questions it's all the same anyway.

Over your cities grass will grow
Over the land the sea will flow
Say goodbye to everything you know
There's a new world being born.

Moving down through the ages every seed has to flower and fall
From a child comes a nation but the earth must have them all.

Over your cities grass will grow
Over the land the sea will flow
Say goodbye to everything you know
There's a new world being born.

Now that chill wind is blowing do you notice how all things must pass
In the darkeness of knowing through the fear there comes a laugh
Past the tears we're free at last.

Over your cities grass will grow
Over the land the sea will flow
Say goodbye to everything you know
There's a new world being born.

Over your cities grass will grow
Over the land the sea will flow
Say goodbye to everything you know
There's a new world being born
There's a new world being born.
