A Hope for Home
Album • 2022
We once held time within our bones, but it all gave way when hope turned to stone Reaching out, and looking back The calm never lasts We disappear into the bloodless now, always approaching, but never here And hope waits on forever Somewhere where love and anger have their place Like knives to cut, like flames to burn all that stands in our way We’ve turned away, we’re caught in the wind Yesterday has returned again It’s calling forth, the storm from before The wreckage mounts, there’s wolves at the door We’re speeding up, We’ve slowed to a crawl We’ve lost all sight of something else at all But as it comes undone, we’ll finally see Our futures past, will set us free Between the weight of yesterday And the uncertainty ahead, consider all who’ve departed In this storm of progress, even the dead will not be safe! Without a now that promises a future better than what’s been

They force compliance as we breathe in the new air But a new day is dawning, a new age for them to fear They suffocate every fire And I’m tired of watching lights go out While speaking with silver tongues , they extinguish our hope with their boots on our necks Years of blood, Years of lead And now we look on as thousands stand shoulder to shoulder with the agents of decay Soon, all will witness the final death throes of a world that was built on destruction and pain Our lungs wеre lined with lead, our flеsh decayed But now we live inside machines, our blood will never flow the same way Once lined with lead, now our flesh decayed Inside machines now, our blood will never flow the same way They suffocate every fire and extinguish hope, years of silicon go on and on and on… Come set fires of hope Years of Silicon Still, this cycle of pain once forged in iron is now in our veins So call them forth, to make whole what they stole Call them forth Call them forth To make whole What they stole What’s been left for us that's not fodder on which they feed? What's left for us? Where is their reckoning? Awaken the reckoning for everything that they have tried to hide What’s left for us? Where is retribution? We are the reckoning of this new age! Call them forth! Call them forth!

They told us love would bridge the gap But lately I’m not in the mood They sold the straight and narrow path But lined their pockets with gold and blood And so I’ll close the door My eyes fixed lower than before Because we’re all we have Once all our fictions are lost, and time regained We’ll stand up tall, we’ll break our chains And on that day we will see there’s nothing else No space beyond; just you and me I see now We’rе all we have Wash away all of this, and all illusions die With еyes fixed lower still, I see clearly now I once reached for heaven but fell embraced in flames Water filled my lungs, I've never been the same Now I have broken bonds to finally feel free To redefine our hope In all uncertainty I see now that we are all we have Wash away all this, and all illusions die I see now that we are all we have
