lyrics

Rain falls on the flood of fallen,
Wash away the proof of all our sins,
Stand up, stand up,
There's no safety in the world we live,
Condemn our evidence,
We fall before our fallen brothers,
The weight of a broken heart
Collapsed inside our crying mothers.

Taking life to prove your pretension,
Silence and censor the voices of dissension,
People stripped of sovereignty to act as objects for your cause,
Unwilling martyrs for your war despite the blood your lovers wore.

(Dissonant)
We are wiped clean to be united,
Blood spilled to be redivided,
How we long for peace in war,
When tragedy strikes upon our shores,
Would that we were made for love,
Instead the hate we've spoken of,
Drawn like vultures to the corpse,
Perpetuating our own mistruths.

(Riff)
Emerging from their safety spells,
Drawn out to observe the hell,
Then back to silence and seclusion,
We'll make our homes in our delusions,
Children bred and raised in war,
Forgotten times of peaceful stores,
Are we so quick to forget,
Their face as broken brothers wept?
