They're crashing through the windows
They're hissing through the doors
And in house of card empires
They feel all the more profound
Aw, to feel all the more profound
I can see the colors
They are taken in the sunlight
They are shaken 'neath the moon
The blues and purples cut us bright
For pain so sweet we'll gladly bleed,
This pain we say 'let us gladly bleed.'
Oh, for peace and shelter, such cries
But meaning for meaning is losing
To the vengeance, of the child who's innocence
We once so boldly proclaimed
You heard those words, you said those words
But what comes of them now?
You heard those words, you said them close
Ah, but who believes it now?
Like children we follow,
It is a brand new day,
But when we reach for water,
They push our hands away.
I though I felt a touch
Of everything believed anew
But the world that was painted
Is gone like morning dew
Oh, but they once felt so real
Oh, the chasm swallows whole.
I have not felt a touch
Since cursed and twisted new
A wide-eyed infant born
Into this world it drew.
And love to it is not what it dreamed,
Oh, it aches to love like it had once dreamed.
Oh for love and comfort, such cries
But meaning for meaning is losing
To the vengeance, of the child who's innocence
We once so boldly proclaimed.
You heard those words, you sung those words.
Where now is your conviction?
You heard those words, you breathed them so.
Where now is your faith?
Like children we follow,
It is a brand new day,
But when we reach for water,
They push our hands away.
Oh, they push our hands away...
