Album: Crusades
Shot down, awoke to smoke so low
No sound, deep breath and choke follow
Turn 'round, no sense of where this goes
Lost, blind, surrounded
Fall down, respect alone is not a throne
Too proud, a decade's work gone unknown
Right now, awoke to smoke so low
Strength builds, compounded
One knife drawn to ask for respect
The second meant to prove it's a threat
The third was meant to use and collect
One night spent to find the address
The second serves to learn it's a test
The third is meant to prove it's a quest
If this storm ever leaves we'd change all our ways
Blaze through the breeze and freeze the wind in its place
We'd burn, we'd bleed, we'd stay in between
We'd say what we mean and throw the rest away
And in the morning we'd see all the things that we'd saved
Wake up in the middle of the churning waves
We'd learn, we'd breathe, we'd stay in between
We'd say what we mean and throw the rest away
We slept on the lake
And felt our bodies lock into the tectonic plates
I could have sworn it was grace
'Cause nothing else could feel so contrived and still be quite so alive
We carry on
Because one day you're here, the next you're gone
Why's that so wrong?
I need this more than you know
So take it or just leave it alone
These songs were forged in the fires
They were scorched by the flames
So if we fought for a purpose
Just let our ashes resurface
We've never felt so inspired
As the waves met our remains
This ocean's a furnace
Just let our ashes resurface
