Why do you torture me so?
You sit across the table with both eyes closed
You speak in myth and fable, and stand unopposed
The animal bones reveal themselves from deep within your mane
They reach for ethereal light
The ancient spears rise from her shoulders and riddle your frame
Marking the first time it was done right

And that’s not all that haunts me - the death by fire of a child
Who waits so patiently. And we are the ones
Who set the standard by which we are to be measured
Measured, measured!
Some things can never walk again cause sometimes a step is all too vile
The path of five innocent men who are only capable of walking one last mile

If I could live another day over again, I’d choose not to
The successes and failures of days passed are constant
The horizon promises days ahead
If you won’t quit, then I won’t

And this I swear to you tonight
Upon these former embers
You fanned until they were fire

We are nothing without the thousands of voices that make the choir
Nothing without the thousands of voices that make the choir
We are, we are, we are still life
(We are, we are, we are still life)
We are, we are, we are... still life
Begging and pleading, not dying, but bleeding out. (Still life, still life)
Begging and pleading, not dying, but bleeding out. (Still life, still life)
Oh, the chemical reaction, the chemical
Oh, the chemical reaction

When the walls fell, with arms wide
