Did you cross the earth to be silent among the castle walls? In Bedlam we surrendered to devious offerings A long and bitter haunt, by the callous words of gods And the song of the dead sun The future told from cursed hands, alive and breathing in the desert sand While jaded bones of blackened marrow, take the wind and the snow Dying, yet trying to hold a place on the earth With their sights in heaven, never ending fall All the while they were living in the dawning of a sacred sky The tides that flow inside us all We were drowning, cast in iron, at the mercy of the under-toe Oooh oh oh oh Oh ooh Oh they say the wounds have taken all the life from you We held them back ‘til night, our shields were all but shattered
In shallow ties they were talking d**h and glory For the sake of all our mournful lives If all our holy eyes can see is all that we believe Let the memories ignite Find a way to cast off the iron and break from the gauntlet of night The spirit’s alive (tonight, tonight) The spirit’s alive (tonight, tonight) All around us the spirits are singing, the voices beckoning To the heartbeat inside of us all that’s telling us were meant to be The fear unfolds within our bones The path we take will lead us to a world unknown The fear unfolds within our bones But we can make it out alive, if we can see beyond the shore We’ll make these caverns shake like thunderstorms And watch the world awake this dawn
