My Silent Wake - Rebirth lyrics

Cast down your eyes to the shameful ground The shattered Earth foretells a devastated land Shelter from the rain that clouds the darkening sky The ones who love their ignorance shall lead us all to die We saw the falling of the Sun The light has gone, the greatest deed has been done The moon will rise, the dusk will veil my face This is the end of the longest of days We will fall We will rise We will rise We will fall Condemn the Earth The story of Our own demise A fatal flaw The new dawn appearing Appalling and vivid This cannot be the land of the living For we have become the stories we told Now we shall weep for the lives that we sold Taking it all, the thieves of the mind Denying, forgetting the souls left behind Sweet tears of remorse fall and gather in vain Bitter consummation with the ever vengeful rain The inertia is growing, engulfing the sky Betrayal of many unready to die A voyage of honour, misplaced sanctity The pilgrims have poisoned the world of the free The civilisation that learned how to lie Preparing to make the last sacrifice Praying to wake, and waking to pray This is the end of the longest of days Tear down the walls and strengthen the Earth After the winter the time of rebirth Tear down the walls and strengthen the Earth After the winter the time of rebirth Tear down the walls and strengthen the Earth After the winter the time of rebirth Gone is the power in which we entrusted Through lies and deception the good were corrupted Herald the dawn of the longest of days Farewell to the fortunate, laid in their graves Tear down the walls then and strengthen the Earth After the winter the time of rebirth
