so far removed from the plight
so far removed from the death of your kin
as so many will fall for the bait
for some small peace of mind
how can you walk on the bones of your brothers' broken homes
knowing how karma's cold hand grips at your throat?
i've been trapped beneath the soil and the dirt
do i close my eyes? do i close my eyes?
lying still beneath the burden and the hurt
am i dead inside? did i make it right?
only forced me to learn that light comes from within
and only fades where fear prevails
does it grow weaker each time you think of those you scorned from afar?
their voices rise from the wreck to call you by name
the blood that tarnished the brush will mark us the same
can you fight this alone and abandoned?
look where we've landed and know
this must all have a consequence
nothing will make sense again
you'll never rest peacefully
you'll never rest peacefully
you'll never rest peacefully
left them out in the cold
