I will dig two graves for us
Just want to see this enemy gone
There is no time.
I just want to see this enemy gone.
The war that leaves us all behind
I can see it in your eyes
The seed inside us multiplies
Caught you again, I know your face,
You played the snake, and promise me
King in your world made out of glass,
We’ll wait to see just how long the liar lasts.
Call me the cancer wrapped in skin
The mask you bear is wearing thin
I can see you in the light
Questioning mine
But these unturning eyes
Are leaving us all blind
The anchor between us drags us down,
And in those depths, we will both surely drown.
Reach for my hand, I offer peace, please brother,
Take it, we will find release
“Keep it!” he said,
“I wish the ground beneath your feet would give way,
There’ll be no peace!
I am the hand that bears the knife’s weight!”
I will dig two graves for us
Just want to see this enemy gone
There is no time.
I just want to see this enemy gone
So bring me the end, bring me that fire,
Breathe in smoke and spit out ash
The snake won’t admit it,
But its certain now that this too,
As all things, shall pass
I can see you in the light
Brother of mine.
With these unturning eyes,
We left the whole world blind
It begins now.
You hear that voice from the crowd
Finally, fear in your heart, that old stone
This is how it starts
We’ve waited for it, this end
We’ve been begging for it
And it won’t be long
Until we’re raising our voices in song
We are the voice of the crowd
We are fire aloud.
We are the ones who stood first,
The hill and the stone
The deep and the thirst
We are the voice of the crowd
We are fire aloud
We are the silence at the end of sound
Listen closer, perhaps you can hear us now
We believe that the man who brings his heart is home,
If the fight isn’t over, then let this be known:
We’ll go down by the sound of the songs the we’ve sung,
And I welcome the drowning
Fill these empty lungs.
And I know that there’s nothing that waits for me there
But the peace in the silence
I’ve earned it, I swear
In the face of unturning eyes,
I have no fear
There is no God, and I am standing right here
Open arms to my brother,
I say: “welcome home”
Find the peace in each other,
We’ve waited so long
Neither question nor answer will come from above
Bury hate with the coward,
The answer is love
