This dying world is doing all it can to bring the end
There's nothing left that even the most skilled of hands can mend
So it begins
A symphony of ruin and destruction echoes out
The falling rain like tears that ricochet upon the ground
Ohh, so tell me now
Do those who rise in power and those they crush underneath
Continue fighting, perpetuating the same dynasty
Have they forgotten how to love in the wake of the pain
Too blinded by hate
If you hear this song, then please sing along
It's dedicated to everyone in this world
In yourself there lies the truth you've been seeking, in your heart all this time
Keep on paddling, sailing stormy seas
Through every hardship you'll find a way to break free
You gotta just believe
The further out we move ahead, the stronger the winds get
And what light is left gets dimmer with each passing second spent
"The light is mine"
The people fight, and scramble for whatever crumbs are left (yeah)
Much blood is spilt, and with it washed away the long-dried tears
Ahh the truth is clear
Your eyes are meant for taking in the beauty of life
Your voice is meant for expressing all the feelings you hide
Your hands are meant to hold whoever's precious to you
It's simple but true
If you hear this song, then please sing along
If you don't have a place you belong - to call home
In yourself there lies the hope you've been hiding in yourself all this time
Even in a blaze that burns all away, look in your heart and you'll find the strength
To stop the pain
You don't have to be brave
You wanted to protect them out of nothing but pure love
But now your hands are covered in nothing but their blood
That everlasting red will stay to haunt your days
It all crashes down upon you as you realize what you've done
How foolish you have been and the sins that you've spun
And now your tears they fall as endless as your mistakes
So please -
If you hear this song, then please sing along
It's dedicated to everyone in this world
In yourself there lies the truth you've been seeking, in your heart all this time
Even if the war relents quietly
We've lost too many to ever call it victory
If you hear this song, then please sing along
If you don't have a place you belong - to call home
In yourself there lies the hope you've been hiding in yourself all this time
With that same resolve you will find away
To right those endless nights that threaten you to break
I know you'll find the strength
Yeah. Oh
