Homesick for distant shores, of sands walked in visions
A blind hand reaches across the sea, for a warm belonging felt in lives past
I’ve been here for too long
A siren song is beckoning with melodies of hope
Drowning under frigid waves, crashing in front of me
Filled with bittersweet echoing harmony
Behind these wooden walls, whose pores seep full of doubt
I leave this all behind
The trembling blaze
Smoke billows from crippled homes
Sold dreams of the infinite, peddled by colonizers
Imprisoned by their tempests
Burning
Phosphorous limbs suffocate
Melting
Faceless we assimilate
Fading
Eroded by sands of hostility
Rising
From the fallen walls of the antiquated
A fire, a beacon, on the horizon
Upon these ashes we plant seeds of hope
Blackened waters seep through tired oak
Guided through fog by irradiant souls
This hope is all I have left
This hope keeps me alive
From the breathless depths of woe
Untangling the cycle of rot
Blessed to watch the sunrise again
A blind hand reaches across the sea, for a warm belonging felt in lives past
I’ve been here for too long
A siren song is beckoning with melodies of hope
Drowning under frigid waves, crashing in front of me
Filled with bittersweet echoing harmony
Behind these wooden walls, whose pores seep full of doubt
I leave this all behind
The trembling blaze
Smoke billows from crippled homes
Sold dreams of the infinite, peddled by colonizers
Imprisoned by their tempests
Burning
Phosphorous limbs suffocate
Melting
Faceless we assimilate
Fading
Eroded by sands of hostility
Rising
From the fallen walls of the antiquated
A fire, a beacon, on the horizon
Upon these ashes we plant seeds of hope
Blackened waters seep through tired oak
Guided through fog by irradiant souls
This hope is all I have left
This hope keeps me alive
From the breathless depths of woe
Untangling the cycle of rot
Blessed to watch the sunrise again
