So here we are Alone with the options we thought we'd never have to face To emerge or cause to immerse again We depend on our actions Can our time in black be corrected? Dragging on again So distant and here we stand Nothing to lose But nothing left to gain Near and far events Across ocean and land So distant here we stand For intentional affect No more can we dwell on what's been taken from us Carry on and venture into madness And those who try to bury us, or strive to complete this Could never live up to the name For one and apart we weren't the same Boundaries set in giant leaps and bounds of time In their design they challenged those Lacking the means to interchange another race They fled into hell, never thought to return We couldn't forget and remain Inevitable Unable to stand against the demons we faced We turned to quiet in everyday Almost ashamed of our dismay Angered by whatever we couldn't say As if there was always another way out Years passed in our desire As though time had accelerated around us Abandoned us Through their worn and aged eyes we are found Their salvaging gaze cast deeper underground An end to the darkness as it was The fall of pitch black confidence An end to darkness as it was But after all the time I could never find I can not forget where I came from Redeemed, retrieved It's only what's missing Is this all that you will recieve Reawakened, replaced It's in our convictions We can't be fallen from grace For all the time that we were underground I never thought we could surface Or if we even deserved it We can't stand the silence You won't be deserted in our time Life won't be cut short in our eyes You won't be deserted in our time Rediscovered, regained It could all be meaningless A life yet to be fulfilled We return, reborn To shatter the still Through their eyes, aged and worn We are now found
