lyrics

What part belongs to both of us
the free and the detained
what's the part that makes us we
and what does it contain
what lives without a thought in ease
or trapped by hate decays
what can it do to give this thing a name?

Who am I beneath the weight
of tyranny and force
how can I exist in time
when they have stopped it's course
I fall and no-one hears the sound
so no-one feels remorse
how was I to know what was in store?

How can power grant belief
and crush another life
cut away the fraying threads
that run from hand to kite
who can see their suffering
and still proclaim the right
to dive into the long and darkening night?
