Lyrics by Chris Kerns
A lonely empire, bound to one
The breadth of gazing wonder, seized firmly
Never to reach out, never known
So hallowed we shall be, when we return to thee
Our whole world and all our needs
Will wash away in time
We conceal the shame
Of helplessness
Where are we now
I can't see through all the smoke and rain
To find the point where death and our lives meet
Some things I'll never know
But I can see we have nowhere to go
I just hope that there's a place for you and me
When we're buried at sea
As we go it alone
Unknowingly gone astray
A new tide is turning
It's life that supports life
A virus by some other name
Is still cause for rage
Our whole world and all our needs
Will wash away in time
We can build walls high and trenches deep
Though we don't transcend
We stalk our crypt alive
Force fed borrowed time
Where are we now
I can't see through all the smoke and rain
To find the point where death and our lives meet
Some things I'll never know
But I can see we have nowhere to go
I just hope that there's a place for you and me
When we're buried at sea
Years of sin unspoken
Wounds prove a grave aftermath
An irreversible path
Silent oaths are broken
Harvest a strike in defense
A means to an end
Years of sin unspoken
Wounds prove a grave aftermath
An irreversible path
Silent oaths are broken
Harvest a strike in defense
A means to an end
Bring your storms in staunch brigades
Do your worst, we're not afraid
Our world and all our needs
Will wash away in time
We can build walls high and trenches deep
Though we don't transcend
We stalk our crypt alive
Force fed borrowed time
Where are we now
I can't see through all the smoke and rain
To find the point where death and our lives meet
Some things I'll never know
But I can see we have nowhere to go
I just hope that there's a place for you and me
When we're buried at sea
