The Distance Between Us Lyrics

We were born
out of two worlds colliding,
out of the clash
of faith and endeavor.
But when they came
they came to change and conquer.
Our ancient ways
were impaired and forgotten;

The earth at our feet,
severed and torn.
We failed to see where we belong.

Shorten the distance between us,
erase the lines that were drawn
long ago.
Beware of those
traitors that hide among us,
they'd sell our souls if it fit
their purpose;
haunted by this idea of perfection
we'll curse our skin
and deny where we came from.
When will we open our arms?
Can we break free and overcome?

Shorten the distance between us,
erase the lines that were drawn
long ago.
When our beliefs have been taken
who will be there to catch us
when we fall?
