[Verse 1]
The night thickened into black earth
The ground sparked under my feet
I didn't know the stars had tumbled down
And that earth had turned into sky
[Chorus]
I should have understood
I should have seen it coming
The signs on the road had changed
The fires on the mountain died
I should have understood
I should have seen it coming
The signs on the road had changed
The fires on the mountain died
[Verse 2]
I felt ascending but I really sunk
Everything had turned upside down
As I was traveling to the mountain peak
I had dug into the grave of all hope
[Chorus]
I should have understood
I should have seen it coming
The signs on the road had changed
The fires on the mountain died
I should have understood
I should have seen it coming
The signs on the road had changed
The fires on the mountain died
[Bridge]
I did not follow the bear-star
I shun advice of my brothers
I did not study the signs of the heavens
I silenced the words of my sisters
[Chorus]
I should have understood
I should have seen it coming
The signs on the road had changed
The fires on the mountain died
I should have understood
I should have seen it coming
The signs on the road had changed
The fires on the mountain died
[Outro]
Why did I shun the advice of brothers?
(The fires on the mountain died)
Why did I silenced the words of sisters?
(The fires on the mountain died)
