[The Proud:]

[Verse 1]
Where have all the heroes gone
That used to bleed for us?
Still holding on to fading lullabies
And fear the end when every note is lost

[Pre-Chorus]
How can we know
If a glance beyond the shadow wall
Could free our souls?

[Chorus]
In the wake behind the virtuous we carry on
While listening to the poetry of lies
And darkened by the prosperous we carry on
As ignorance of human life subsides

[Verse 2]
They left us behind and broke our pride
They told us to be brave
But like an insect drawn to light
We circle around the radiance of truth

[Pre-Chorus]
How can we know
If a glance beyond the shadow wall
Could free our souls?
[Chorus]
In the wake behind the virtuous we carry on
While listening to the poetry of lies
And darkened by the prosperous we carry on
As ignorance of human life subsides

[Breakdown]
I am you
You are me
Feel the grace
I set you free
I am the empire

[The Broken:]

[Bridge]
I am learning to crawl
Denying the fall
In time I'll stand again

I am bare to the skin
I'm refusing to give in
You can't break my heart again

But I try
I keep trying
And I dying to forgive
All the matters is what's going to be
I try
I keep trying
I am dying to forgive
I am you
You are me

[Chorus]
In the wake behind the virtuous we carry on
While listening to the poetry of lies
And darkened by the prosperous we carry on
As ignorance of human life subsides
