about

The first song written for the project that would become the album "The World Anew"

lyrics

Raised in sight
Of the very place that would shun a child
Just for their birth
And the fear of the looming unknown
Fear and spite
Govern every facet of the mother’s tribe
(A plague, a curse)
Now you ask me to fight and die
(Outcast, exile)
For a land that bears no blood of mine

If I leave this place
Better than I found it
Maybe I could live up to your name
The bodies stacked their blood let flow
A generation mourned
The last word you said
Left running through my head

Survive and endure
This wasn’t meant to be your grave
Bled of life
By those who’d bring the end of everything
Survive, continue
Living between the earth and sky
The ground can wait
Till you decide where to make your grave

Answers lie somewhere beyond
This land that bears no blood of mine

All my life I’ve been searching
For a purpose that seemed
Greater than this place where
I was born
I never would have believed
The truth if I had only
Seen through their eyes and
Filtered minds

Seemingly insignificant
In the grand design
All of your good intentions
Were just lies
We all know we were
Not the first
But the past holds a truth
So human it hurts

So focused, so sure
I’d find the answers the world never gave
But now, I’ve found
You can never go home the same

Survive and endure
This wasn’t meant to be your grave
Bled of life
By those who’d bring the end of everything
Survive, continue
Living between the earth and sky
The ground can wait
‘Till you decide where to make you grave

Answers lie somewhere beyond
This land that bears no blood of mine
