Our charted course is lost the stars are veiled but you are leading us onward Blindly fullspeed in to the fog ahead The darkness grows as the night consumes the dawn. your promises split over the rocks With calloused hands we grip what weapons we have found Kept from your eyes and your mind by your arrogance all of this time While we’ve learned to steady our sights We have seen of your last best hope the trail of decline We have heard of your good news but what of the poor we continue to oppress What love what grace is this that takes but never gives What shame what rage is this that builds within the chests of those who have been held down The beating of our hearts is felt throughout the earth those who can see then believe For with each breath and beat regardless of intention propelling recklessly toward the end in sight We must take what time we have finding small ways to perpetuate changing waves With one resounding voice we speak of the aching in our bones This violent sea is not the home we know It falls to us who’s steady hands will guide us on
