Rival - Soen

They promised this would be our home

They led us here, to rest our hearts

A shelter for the future born

To embrace peace and harvest hope

Divided from the ones we love

We saw them slay what we adore

The soil is dry, the water foul

There’s only past where I came from

The ones we leave are left behind in need

For all I had, vanished

My hands will burn your walls

This is who I am, fallen

An icon of the loss

For all the fire

For all the fire

The sanctions that you force on us

Asphyxiate the overcome

Despair is built within our house

Breeding the weak to feed the strong

The thoughts you feed, you can’t restrain

They’ll turn to you and be your bane

For all I had, vanished

My hands will burn your walls

This is who I am, fallen

Commander of the lost

For all the fire

For all the fire

The walls are higher, fields are burning

And my dreams are all there is

The light is blinding, no prayers answered

For salvation never came
