Be Winged Lyrics

Be winged, free from the mire of men
Be winged, leave the dead soil to the dying
Inherit the wind, soar from the coils that asphyxiate you
Be winged and climb high, with a wingspan to humble mankind
Slow suffocation beneath the clouds
The crusade for humanity is nearly lost
Fumes of foul temperament thicken the air
Envenomed by beings of inborn aggression
If the wicked are never to rest
Surely they will not be saved
And so the hopeful drown in the hopeless

A glimpse of life in the midst of death
This side of romance and delusion always dies
You, so selfless and concerned, are no exception
There are only those who do not care
And those that would cause you harm
The remains of salvation lies in graveyards
Where the soulful have since been absorbed by the soulless

A glimpse of life in the midst of death
This side of romance and delusion always dies
You, so selfless and concerned, are no exception
Suffer this small truth
In laboring for human redemption you are asking brick to be glass

Repeating lies to yourself to keep your faith
You lie to yourself to maintain your sanity
We all lie to ourselves when we feel the hopelessness of a grim tomorrow

Be winged, free from the mire of men
Be winged, leave the dead soil to the dying
Inherit the wind, soar from the coils that asphyxiate you
Be winged and climb high, with a wingspan to humble mankind
