Portal - We Kuffar lyrics

All these memories, although fading Feed illusions of the lives we might have led Not a moment's pause for purpose, lamentations Nor a fear inside my head I know it's faith that drives me An unwavering faith that we'll not stand alone And our forfeit for a future full of freedom Of a life we might have known Now adrift here in the silence Metaphoric for the vast unknowns we face The mirage is slowly fading The horizon holds the fortunes we embrace I know that I'm no hero, not a martyr Just a servant of the will For tomorrow's full of wonders Humble graces that the blind may not fulfil There was a time when this land was a beacon The cradle of all things, you've wasted their gains Beliefs to be built on, discoveries to dilate Ideas are foundations, not crippling chains This reckless divorce of compa**ion and reason Of rational thinking, no harem awaits And for your indifference, your indoctrinations Immoral misleadings, our lives to the fates Know this forever, that we were no martyrs No god-fearing zealots, we fight for the truth We're secular beings, more humbled by questions Than outdated answers that mesmerise you Dictate of faith, why must we live by your hand Smug in your own sense of virtue, of reason, of grand Defending faith as sacred and righteous and pure Smokescreen for hate, for abuses, mistrust and allure Spectate of faith, with silence of ghosts who foretell Weather for fear of the vengeance induced by this spell Defending faith as private, protected, divine Sheltering fringes who honor their own lives like thine Dictate of faith, we suffer your mindless decrees Sure of your place in these fictions that bring men to knees Defending faith, the will of the words you hold true In time your edicts will unleash their wrath upon you And lo, a light on, not so far away from Zion In the land of the virile, the breeders and the heroes The rains fall down, modern arms and aging thoughts collide Drowned in the blood of holy rite ...And so we fight on In the sands of the feral, the ciphers and the zeroes In the grave pa**ed down, in the storied bygones silence let survive Drowned in the blood of holy rite Your lease on faith is fleeting we believe In freedom, justice fair, like you we need Answers, consolations, but we feed On wonder, life, how meaningless we seem The universe is sranger still than we The search for truth is motive 'nough for me Now the light is slowly fading We imagine in their eyes, we start to see
