Save Our Souls

Are we forgotten? Are we alone?
10000 captive in iron and stone
No word of the outside, of life as we've known
Are we forgotten? Are we alone?
Who will save our souls?
Counting the hours. Naming the stones
Prayers towards the ceiling. Answers unknown
Stars through the window. Nights silent cold
Are we forgotten? Are we alone?
There are days where it all seems collapsing
There are weeks where we don't see the sun
There are months where the walls close around us
Who will be there when we are undone?
Who will save my soul?

Fire in the Sky
03:30
|

Midnight. Watchmen makes his rounds and all is still
So quiet. Hours pass on silent wings until
a sound like thundering sets walls to trembling
Look up weary eyes! What is this dawn? Fire in the sky!
Searchlights mingle with the sirens in the night
Strange fire burns with freedoms dread and daring light

Jailbreak

You speak of jailbreak. Unearthly peace
Unshackled hearts impossibly free
From old chains and devils familiar and safe
Sleeping guards and open gates
But I’m scared to run your way
Scared for light of day
Scared to leave these walls
I’m terrified to die
To die and find my life
Your call is daylight piercing the dark cell of the spirit through prison yards
Beyond the wardens. Over the walls sirens sing their useless songs
Do I dare to run your way?
Dare for light of day?
Dare to leave these walls
I’m terrified to die
To die and find my life
You say there’s freedom to have in getting rid of yourself
Followed my hopes and my fears they led me straight to hell
And I have been there before, don’t want to do it again
I was the center of my world, but then my world caved in
Give me grace to run Your way
Grace for light of day
Grace to leave these walls
I’m terrified to die
To die and find my life
Run free

Tonight We Fly
03:15
|
|||
|
The cadence pounding in my ears of fire bursting in my veins
From heart decayed by wasted years of life inside a rusted cage
A cage now shattered and I am free
I feel like flying away
Stars dissolve in morning softness as night surrenders to the day
A heart of light, a body heavy. Morning air was never so sweet
I breathe it in and I am free
Fly away

Desert Song (63)
03:50
|
|||
|
Still my soul in a dry and thirsty land
No water on horizon or tongue
Vision lies mirages hollow feast
Yet I behold the Master of the sun
Raise my hands
Fall or stand
Flesh demands have lost their tyranny
Faithful love be with me in the night
When fears and foes outnumber grains of sand
Hours pass winds howling in the dark
Still your hand holds my heart to providence
