Awoken by the peace, and cuddled by the kind
Rested in ignorance, too young this simple mind
Calm at breakfast, with no hint of the fear
How I wish for an offer that would keep us all here
As we huddled for warmth, the truth was confined
Still the daily remind, creeping up from behind.
Never we'd imagine, the death would be so clear
in the blur of surprise, just let me disappear.
Pre Build -
Down has come the ceiling
As this truth has brought down the sky
A brand new weight, I am caught kneeling
Begging for a beautiful lie
If we could play pretend and dress up this feeling
no one will hear the movements nearby
Oh spring, aid the healing
The change now settling, but we’ll always ask why
Build -
Always conquer, never divide
No one can promise better, lest we hope and try
Always conquer, never divide
Forging together, by the dying of the light
Verse 2 -
Denial was but an exit, a fault in our stride
By the footfalls of others, I promise we tried.
To live by the hope, a rescue would arrive
knowing all to well that in shadows it could thrive
Seasonal, by the years, caught in a landslide
Under a warm sun, the child will always reside
Take the gospel on how the boy did survive
Who, now a man, must march and strive
Pre Build -
As we reach our final life
I take comfort in knowing, after this flight
When we feel the sum of our strife
at least our worms will feast tonight
The future now at the mercy of the knife
When vanishes my only shining knight
This madness is throwing us into the wildlife
But by loyalty, camaraderie, we're together to win this fight
Build -
Always conquer, never divide
No one can promise better, lest we hope and try
Always conquer, never divide
Forging together, by the dying of the light
