lyrics

steel tethers shiver;
of hatred, greed and fear
corroded in these hands once bound
now valorized, severe

the hour's voice is calling
in the streets and in the fields
to stand upright, galvanized
heated in the blood of dawn revealed

dancing to the song of earth
as we storm the gates of heaven

our deafening love screaming
into the depths of raging stars
as we climb into the scent of now
and push ourselves beyond
the necromantic core of industry
and dead accumulation
masterless and synergistic like waves in harmony
we are all leaders
now.

we are not afraid of ruins
with hearts of hearts unbound
birthing new foundations
from the ashes of the old
to master and to own

we will dance tomorrow
on the graves of servitude
and lions
and take our place
amongst the gods
finally made real
in eachothers' arms

unified, synchronized
in the primacy of now

the once unreachable
is realized
in burning hands

it feels like eternity
I've been waiting
to kiss the lips of gravity
through our darkest days emerge
to leave a final note upon
these lonely concrete walls
the door is open
I'm leaving all of them behind
nothing can stand between us now.
