the candles But not their tongues And too much blood has flown from the wrist Of children shamed for those they chose to kiss Who will rise to stop
Like a new day rising Like a calm before the storm Like fog lifting from valleys On the sleeping forest floor Eyes open slowly As the dust is shaken
Hey, man did you hear Your final days are near? A free fall of fire and ice And explosions in the sky A fate that we deserve There's no escaping No it
Even though we know, yeah we know Our time has almost come, we're all overdue Can there be a place to call our own? Can there be a road that takes us
Block the entrances, close the doors Seal the exits, 'cause this is war All gave some, some gave all But for what? I wanna know Carry on, don't mind

There high on the watchtower Keeping the peace, whatever that means 'Cause you see the world through Cross hairs and TV's, don't you? Ten foot walls
She got down on hands and knees One ear against the ground Holding her breath to hear something But the dirt made not a sound tonight Echoes of songs
nothing left to say But so much left that I don't know We never had a choice, this world is too much noise It takes me under, it takes me under once again
