Redeemed

So here we are

Alone with the options we thought we'd never have to face

To emerge or cause to immerse again

We depend on our actions

Can our time in black be corrected?

Dragging on again

So distant and here we stand

Nothing to lose

But nothing left to gain

Near and far events

Across ocean and land

So distant here we stand

For intentional affect

No more can we dwell on what's been taken from us

Carry on and venture into madness

And those who try to bury us, or strive to complete this

Could never live up to the name

For one and apart we weren't the same

Boundaries set in giant leaps and bounds of time

In their design they challenged those

Lacking the means to interchange another race

They fled into hell, never thought to return

We couldn't forget and remain

Inevitable

Unable to stand against the demons we faced

We turned to quiet in everyday

Almost ashamed of our dismay

Angered by whatever we couldn't say

As if there was always another way out

Years passed in our desire

As though time had accelerated around us

Abandoned us

Through their worn and aged eyes we are found

Their salvaging gaze cast deeper underground

An end to the darkness as it was

The fall of pitch black confidence

An end to darkness as it was

But after all the time I could never find

I can not forget where I came from

Redeemed, retrieved

It's only what's missing

Is this all that you will recieve

Reawakened, replaced

It's in our convictions

We can't be fallen from grace

For all the time that we were underground

I never thought we could surface

Or if we even deserved it

We can't stand the silence

You won't be deserted in our time

Life won't be cut short in our eyes

You won't be deserted in our time

Rediscovered, regained

It could all be meaningless

A life yet to be fulfilled

We return, reborn

To shatter the still

Through their eyes, aged and worn

We are now found
