Fames

Listen all you tired, you cold, you bitter masters
 Starving the weak
 The stories you have told cannot stifle the voices of need
 So wager your tales against our dreams
 Strangle, stall, monopolize, steal and separate
 Keep us all at odds and keep us all in hiding
 Drifting from the relevant we can learn again
 Orders enliven and take us down lightly
 Fold these wings I know they've failed you
 One more leap to fall beyond my knees
 Leaving sordid idols in our wake
 Lay them down side-by-side in visceral exchange
 These, oh, these wraiths
 And love them now forever as eyes consume the flawed
 Holding on to, holding on
 And stay awake
 Here we are at peace if only for a time
 To sleep entranced to scream
 In silence for our crimes
 Here we are at peace if only for a time
 To sleep entranced to scream
 In silence for our crimes
 Bury your heads and lock up your cage
 Lie so quiet and still
 But know you can't hide from positive change
 When questions burn inside the unfulfilled
 So how long do you think we'll wait and see our dreams denied
 When each and every one of us has felt this
 Tempest rise?
 Rise
 Here we are at peace if only for a time
 To sleep entranced to scream
 In silence for our crimes
 Here we are at peace if only for a time
 To sleep entranced to scream
 In silence for our crimes
 Here we are
 If only for this time
 To sleep entranced to scream
 In silence for our crimes
