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  The 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 the newborn in vain  Distant signs of light  Deliver us from the night we were drowning  But now we've been washed  Onward to a new shore    As the storms of time subside  The 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 signs of light  Will smooth these rough seas that we ride  We were drowning  But now we've been washed  Onward to a new shore  Over and over and over
