lyrics

Light shines on this land
And light is shining from within
As I open up my eyes
I see what they believe

I feel their deepest endeavor
And it pains my heart, hurts forever

Like lines drawn in the sand
Virtues have been swept away
I am reaching out my hand
But they choose to turn away

They slay my dearest creation
Trust is torn apart.
Broken, severed

How do you sleep on a bed of broken dreams
Dreams you’ve failed to understand
Songs of despair ring eternally
Can I reside in your belief?

You have lost your way
Time reveals what time can’t heal
Gone is nature’s grace
Killed by greed; gone, erased


Follow the true command
Live by the word of the law
Try to suppress your true desire

Cherish the stories told
Trust what you know in your heart
A lifetime of war brings peace forevermore

Vanity made this tragedy
Abandoned all that was preserved
Changing ways happens gradually
(so) Give us time, and maybe we can learn

Help us find a better way
Help us change our belief
Please don’t turn away
Don’t let go, don’t give in

Cleanse the
evil arisen from the haze
that consumes the world
A thirst insatiable has brought upon

Silence
Blackness
Soundness wiped away

Protrude to revert the tolls of time
Lead onto regression
and save the dying life

Atone your heresy,
right your wrongs of mind
Sustain the earthly symbiotic, remain alive

Please spare our lives (alleviate)
can’t comprehend
Open your eyes and see, perceive (What we've done wrong)
Understand

Kill all creatures, clear all features
Rebirth

Seek the truth beyond
Trust your faith lives on forever
Know it won’t subside
Find the voice inside that calls you home
It calls you home

I’m reaching out, hear my call (hear my call)
By your hand, we live again
Show the path to walk
Help us see how to be

I will light your way (Light our way)
Guide you ‘til the end of days

Gaze toward the sky
(See the) mourning star
Shining bright

See the mourning star
