Arrival

An early warning
Forging notes that never die
The air now rings with dissonant sound

Screaming our last prayer
For this cross that we bare grows much heavier
Holding us down when we fall from our feet

As the storms of time subside
This coals from past life will fuel this fire

Dreams carry us on to believe
And die for the things we had hoped for
The arrival sets us free

A killing season
Blinding words obscuring the plain
Poisoning the lips of a newborn in vain

Distant skies of light
Deliver us from the night we were drowning
Now we've been washed onward to a new shore

As the storms of time subside
This coals from past life will fuel this fire

Dreams carry us on to believe
And die for the things we had hoped for
The arrival sets us free

Dreams carry us on to believe
And die for the things we had hoped for
The arrival sets us free

They call this reason
Different views through different eyes
If you speak the truth, why do I see lies?

Distant skies of light will smooth these rough seas
That we ride we were drowning
Now we've been washed onward to a new shore over and over
