lyrics

Are the wolves
Upon the porch
Or were they bred inside?
Do they speak
Your mother tongue?
Do they share your clouded eyes?

There is no Kingdom Come
No song left to be raised
No color in your voice
No splendor on the page
But I heard it in your stories
I heard you kept a flame
When you were on the run
When you were not afraid

Were you not once me?

Take our lungs
Or take the will of the martyr
Placed on your fathers' tongues
You kept it silencing faster
The longing for purer blood
Love on your lips
Lust on your breath
Still holding back

Once me,
Who believed?
Well I'm not dwelling on factors
Held only hereafter we leave
Who believes?
Breaking silence far after
The impossible actors
Only detracted
A faith in brothers deceased
Don't hold me back
