In an age when so many words mean nothing we’re not just speaking for the sake of making noise We call to broken spirits and to open minds to voices who refuse to be silenced The hope of life on our tongues as we search for a better way Rummaging through the wilderness and the waste of our dying days Little is found here worthy of remembrance No glory in the scarred hands and aching backs with which we persist Bound now together straining eyes for signs of shelter from this raging culture Relentless overfed unconcerned From atop the mountains thick clouds of smog descend choking out what promises the least of us had left With the broken in the streets we arm ourselves we wont stand alone in this life Where serpents and angels alike will strike your heel Lay down your shackle and chains before the iron teeth. by their refuse we resist.
