lyrics

I'm stranded
On an icy shore
Here I built my city
In a ruin from the storm
At the root of their mountain
Is where we made our home
A colony of outcasts
Systematically alone

No water for the thirsting soul
A struggle through dust and gravel
To climb the highest top alone
Just to fall again

A chain
Of hands against their wall
A gathering of heroes
The ones who never fall
Stare up at the darkness
Where they keep the sun
If the climb is too high
Bring the mountain down

Now we light up like fireflies
Against the darkening sky
Together we could learn how to survive

Rain fire from the sky
On the next in line
Through the madness
How did we survive?
Killed by our nation's
Every expectation
How many lives
Will we give for a lie?

No sunlight for the tired soul
The climb feels never-ending
The hands lose touch of the stone
And down comes the rain

The outside becomes a prison
Their heights defy me
I'm drained of all ambition
Their heights deny me
Up above beyond our reach
The sky is opening
Now the cracks begin to show
The wall is crumbling

Rain fire from the sky
On the next in line
Through the madness
How did we survive?
Killed by our nation's
Every expectation
How many lives
Will we give for a lie?
