Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The word that has been spoken
Through time and time again
Is the night that inhabits our voice
The light that keeps us aflame
[Verse 2]
All retrospection is invalid
As we've been fed disdain
Confined to the fence of knowledge
We need to die, die again
[Verse 3]
To govern thyself
You must know your darkness
To govern thyself
You must know your past
[Verse 4]
All rise and fall
[Verse 5]
All is eternal
All eternal
All rise and fall
[Verse 6]
All is eternal
All eternal
All rise and fall
[Verse 7]
Controlling matter with will, will, will
We withstand every storm
In and out of exile
Spirit, matter, and form
[Verse 8]
To govern thyself
You must know your darkness
To govern thyself
You must know your past
