Fames -

Listen all you tired, you cold, you bitter masters

Starving the weak

The stories you have told cannot stifle the voices of need

So wager your tales against our dreams

Strangle, stall, monopolize, steal and separate

Keep us all at odds and keep us all in hiding

Drifting from the relevant we can learn again

Orders enliven and take us down lightly

Fold these wings I know they’ve failed you

One more leap to fall beyond my knees

Leaving sordid idols in our wake

Lay them down side-by-side in visceral exchange

These, oh, these wraiths

And love them now forever as eyes consume the flawed

Holding on to, holding on And stay awake

Here we are at peace if only for a time

To sleep entranced to scream

In silence for our crimes

Here we are at peace if only for a time

To sleep entranced to scream

In silence for our crimes

Bury your heads and lock up your cage

Lie so quiet and still

But know you can’t hide from positive change

When questions burn inside the unfulfilled

So how long do you think we’ll wait and see our dreams denied

When each and every one of us has felt this

Tempest rise?

Rise

Here we are at peace if only for a time

To sleep entranced to scream

In silence for our crimes

Here we are at peace if only for a time

To sleep entranced to scream

In silence for our crimes

Here we are

If only for this time

To sleep entranced to scream

In silence for our crimes
