When the Walls Fell - Minsk

This night / Toward and empty sky a soul defies

Soaked in fire / Two paths collide

His head so low he cannot lift / An offering to death sublime

His eyes for you / In the sacred lines to follow

Upon the precipice, setting precedent

This space where nothing grows

Writhing in grey, wishing the woe away

Faces seen but never known

All the roads to strange paradise

Yet unknown, this sacred destruction

Oh child, your life, your will

Sinking feeling, where are you going now

We approach, an even-ing

We approach a horizon, another cycle of renewal

All our lives, waiting for this time, this release

The mourning has fallen, a balance returns, an even-ing

All our lives spent, waiting for this

Soaked in fire, an empty sky, death sublime, a soul defies this time

All our crimes, they have played out against us

Forget the finality, there is abundance here

Embrace the complexity, now cut the cord and release

Chipping away, away at the stone, building it all, always alone

An inroad into the calcified mind, the beginning of the end of these chains

that will bind

So we are, chipping away, so we could know

These scars of old left to mend in the cold

Discovering the essence, we harken the call / Oh child, your life, your will

Left for dead in this wasteland, the path unknown / Sinking feeling,

where are you going now

We carry on, without fear, the birds speak in tongues / A blinding light

returns, the Will set within

We will heed their beckoning, proceed with all we know / At the foot of the

hill, a sacrifice made, the will set within

We will harken the call, we will find a way

Yet we remain numb, with this placid facade

I will see through this, I will find a way

We will find our way

Beginning of the end
