Lyrics
(Verse 1)
The promises we made all turned to rust,
We built our kingdom founded on mistrust.
The hollow eyes that stare into the night,
Have long forgotten what it means to fight.
We taste the bitter aftermath of greed,
A generation sown with rotten seed.
The broken glass reflects the fading sun,
And every single battle has been won.
(Pre-Chorus)
Now silence falls upon the broken floor,
We stand behind the closing nursery door.
We see the flicker of a distant flame,
As our own children whisper out the name.
(Chorus)
They bow their heads for mercies we deny,
We watch the faith shine brightly in their eye.
They clutch their hands and reach for fragile grace,
While we stand frozen in this empty space.
This single hope is all that we maintain,
A childs pure whisper cutting through the rain.
(Verse 2)
We tasted ashes where the fruit should be,
We know the truth of bitter clarity.
The weight of years has crushed the spirit down,
We wear the thorny edges of the aging crown.
We lost the map from here to paradise,
We paid the world with more than simple price.
Our hands are stained with what we couldn't keep,
While innocents still drift into their sleep.
(Pre-Chorus)
The simple sound of breathing calms the air,
The burden that they carry isn't there.
They speak in tongues that we no longer own,
To Gods we left defeated on the throne.
(Chorus)
They bow their heads for mercies we deny,
We watch the faith shine brightly in their eye.
They clutch their hands and reach for fragile grace,
While we stand frozen in this empty space.
This single hope is all that we maintain,
A childs pure whisper cutting through the rain.
(Guitar Solo)
(Bridge)
The words they speak are sounds we cannot make,
Our souls are far too heavy now to break.
We are the ghosts of hope that died before,
Just silent watchers standing at the door.
We cannot kneel with them and join the sound,
Our ruined hearts are buried in the ground.
We cannot beg for what we threw away,
But watch them try to save us while they pray.
(Chorus 3)
They bow their heads for mercies we deny,
We watch the faith shine brightly in their eye.
They clutch their hands and reach for fragile grace,
While we stand frozen in this empty space.
This single hope is all that we maintain,
A childs pure whisper cutting through the rain.
(Outro)
A child's faith is all we have left here,
A borrowed prayer to mask the chilling fear.
We only watch... we only watch...
