lyrics

Take over
Be my eyes
Guide me blindly through
Nights that terrify

Black shadow
Floods the sky
Ashes rain where our
Fallen homes lie

Mothers pray with fathers
As the sun takes on water
They hold on
To hope though
Strength is failing

Tell the world we’ve gone under
And left the lost behind
To the worlds we’ve brought under
I’m sorry
I don’t know how to save you

All they’ve seen
I can’t dream
Their stories are
A nightmare

Fear for your
Life un-lived
Locked inside the cell
With bars of fire

High above
They circle
The vultures waiting for you
The sons and the daughters
All forsaken

Tell the world we’ve gone under
And left the lost behind
To the worlds we’ve brought under
I’m sorry
I don’t know how to save you all

Do the cries ring in your ears
High atop your mountain
Mark the pages move the pawns
The fire won’t spread this far

From silence
To madness
You are now welcome nowhere
Unearthed and
Abandoned
This can’t
This can’t be real

Tell the world we’ve gone under
And left the lost behind
To the worlds we’ve brought under
I’m sorry
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know how to save you
