Album:

Harakiri

Don't forget me now, laughing through the tears
For somewhere, somehow, life becomes the years
You speak to millions, but you're talking to no one
Home is the place that you can't walk away from
You seek our opinions but listen to no one
You throw up your hands and tell me that it's all done


We intend to rise through motion, speak through silence
And fight 'til the ocean
No more glimmering hopes or commotions
Our dedication's to each other in devotion


No pretending now, your heart is open and you reappear
For somewhere, somehow, you dropped the ball and you ran with fear
You speak to millions, but talk to no one
Home is the place you can't walk away from
You seek opinions but listen to no one
You throw up your hands and tell me that it's all done


We intend to rise through motion, speak through silence
And fight 'til the ocean
No more glimmering hopes or commotions
Our dedication's to each other in devotion


We intend to speak through peace
Cross the ocean and wake up in the east
Make Jerusalem home for all creeds
Unsheathe your swords and tame the eagle's beast


I want you, I need you
I pray that God absolves you
Can't live this life without you
I've cleared the coffin for two


I want you, I need you
I pray that God absolves you
Can't live this life without you
I've cleared the coffin for two


Come, today is another day
Come, your hairs are no longer grey
Come, we're clearing the runway
There's no turning back from the path for the chosen ones


We intend to rise through motion, speak through silence
And fight 'til the ocean
No more glimmering hopes or commotions
Our dedication's to each other in devotion


We intend to scream through peace
Cross the ocean and wake up in the east
Make Jerusalem home for all the creeds
Unsheathe your swords and tame the eagle's beast
