Lyrics

I close my eyes
 Tell us why must we suffer
 Release your hands
 For your will drags us under
 My legs grow tired
 Tell us where must we wander
 How can we carry on
 If redemption's beyond us?
 ♪
 To all of my children
 In whom life flows abundant
 To all of my children
 To whom death hath passed his judgement
 The soul yearns for honor
 And the flesh, the hereafter
 Look to those who walked before
 To lead those who walk after
 Shining is the land's light of justice
 Ever flows the land's well of purpose
 Walk free, walk free, walk free, believe
 The land's alive, so believe

 (Witness) teach (teach)
 (Reason) hear (hear)

 Now open your eyes
 While our plight is repeated
 Still deaf to our cries
 Lost in hope we lie defeated
 Our souls have been torn
 And our bodies forsaken
 Bearing sins of the past
 For our future is taken
 War born of strife
 These trials persuade us not
 (Feel what? Learn what?)
 Words without sound
 These lies betray our thoughts
 Mired by a plague of doubt, the land, she mourns
 (See what? Hear what?)
 Judgement binds (judgement binds)
 All we hold to a memory of scorn
 Tell us why (tell us why)
 Given life
 We are meant to die
 Helpless in our cries?
 Witness (feel) suffer (think) borrow (teach) reason (hear)
 Follow (feel) stumble (think) wander (teach) listen (blink)
 Whisper (blink) shoulder (blink) ponder (blink) weather (hear)
 Answer (look) answer (think) answer together
 Thy life is a riddle
 To bear rapture and sorrow
 To listen, to suffer
 To entrust unto tomorrow
 In one fleeting moment
 From the land doth life flow
 Yet in one fleeting moment
 For anew it doth grow
 In the same fleeting moment
 Thou must live, die, and know
