All across the western world, second hand, second skin The rain comes through where the roof is thin All across the western world All across the ocean wide With brothers, neighbors at our door Our banks are full but our souls are poor All across the western world So melt your wings like wax to fire Let your self fall out of time From ashes we rise The broken down are on the mend And blessed are those who have no voice
You're only free when you have no choice All across the western world So melt your wings like wax to fire Let your self fall out of time From ashes we rise All across the open sky In my career of broken wings Redemptive ends from tragic means All across the western world So melt your wings like wax to fire Let your self fall out of time From ashes we rise
