When the Walls Fell

This night / Toward and empty sky a soul defies
 Soaked in fire / Two paths collide
 His head so low he cannot lift / An offering to death sublime
 His eyes for you / In the sacred lines to follow
 Upon the precipice, setting precedent
 This space where nothing grows
 Writhing in grey, wishing the woe away
 Faces seen but never known
 All the roads to strange paradise
 Yet unknown, this sacred destruction
 Oh child, your life, your will
 Sinking feeling, where are you going now
 We approach, an even-ing
 We approach a horizon, another cycle of renewal
 All our lives, waiting for this time, this release
 The mourning has fallen, a balance returns, an even-ing
 All our lives spent, waiting for this
 Soaked in fire, an empty sky, death sublime, a soul defies this time
 All our crimes, they have played out against us
 Forget the finality, there is abundance here
 Embrace the complexity, now cut the cord and release
 Chipping away, away at the stone, building it all, always alone
 An inroad into the calcified mind, the beginning of the end of these chains that will bind
 So we are, chipping away, so we could know
 These scars of old left to mend in the cold
 Discovering the essence, we harken the call / Oh child, your life, your will
 Left for dead in this wasteland, the path unknown / Sinking feeling, where are you going now
 We carry on, without fear, the birds speak in tongues / A blinding light returns, the Will set within
 We will heed their beckoning, proceed with all we know / At the foot of the hill, a sacrifice made, the will set within
 We will harken the call, we will find a way
 Yet we remain numb, with this placid facade
 I will see through this, I will find a way
 We will find our way
 Beginning of the end
