What We've Lost

There's a fog that never fades away And the sky, it grows darker by the day There's a poison in the land It'll convince you that you're damned Make you so weak that you can't stand All the things we learned when we were kids Were only meant to keep the darkness hid But something deep inside you saw A light that lives beyond the law And that the truth is wild and raw As the promise of the future starts to fade All the ties that bound us up have been so frayed Everybody's feeling angry and afraid It's what we've lost There's a deadness in my neighbors' eyes But it hides a spark that never truly dies There is music on the wind I hear it in the voices of my friends One day this dark is gonna end As the promise of the future starts to fade All the ties that bound us up have been so frayed Everybody's feeling angry and afraid It's what we've lost Now our tattered banner's flapping in the wind And we're paying up for centuries of sins And all our hated enemies were once our friends It's what we've lost
