lyrics

Golden land
Our crate of orphans
Separated from the past
Sailing by the beast of anguish
Passion tied us to the mast

Walls that slide
Around us quickly
Grabbing on to all we've got
Finding out it comes to nothing
Empty hands and overwrought

Bankrupt, Faltering
Every tree cut to the ground
Whitewashed credo
Wishing we could
hear the sound

Blind, deaf, crawling
Faith brought this to us
Floating weightless

Tethered to the iron barracks
Mortals all we cannot fail
Holding close
our barren mother
God below we shrink and pale

All we learned
to live and fight for
Humbly gave it all away
Stripped ourselves
of all we cherished
Wrote this heartless
passion play.

Grasping hammerhand
Fleeting in the limelit sky
Crazed and desperate
Fast the moment passes by

Waiting inside
We ponder our silence
We rest on our silence
Killed by our silence.

Whitewashed credo
In this dead light
Please call for me.
