A Night of Forgiveness
The lyrics of our conscience
United in our wars
The golden words are spilling
When our truth has been ignored
The dark ignites our passions
And death will grant us life
Where fallen statues crumble
The earth reclaims our lies
A future heading backwards
Can strangle every dream
But this inner conflict saves us
As we remember why we breathe
Silent is the city
That screaming voices carve
And enlightened is the child
That hears much more when it gets dark
Our fears have lead to glory
All darkness turned to light
And everything that broke us
Has our sympathy tonight
