Lyrics

[Intro]
Speak to me
Give me a sign
Set me free
Tell me no lie
[Verse 1]
Band of brothers, desperate wind
Past repeats old vicious sin
Soldiers in war we didn't begin
Shadows loom on the places they've been
But I guess that's just how it goes
Life lost to time's calloused flow
Many suffer, never will know
The dark retreats from the smallest light we show
[PreChorus]
Though I've hidden in the dark for life
I want to dwell in a house of light
[Chorus]
Light
Speak to me
Give me a sign
Did I know wrong from right?
There's no answer in this life
To the lie that separates me
From the light that still surrounds us everywhere
[Verse 2]
Time slowly circles back
Like magnets, fate attract
Caught in cycles of seeming endless black
But I guess that's just how it goes
The son will live what the father knows
Do we break out from the endeavor
Or find ourselves here forever?
[Bridge]
What does it cost
To remember the pain? (The pain you can't let go)
What does it cost?
Resonate without shame
What does it cost?
What does it cost?
[Refrain]
Speak to me
Give me a sign
[Chorus]
Light
Speak to me
Give me a sign
Tell me if I'm wrong or right
There's no answer in this life
To the lie that separates me
From the light that still surrounds us everywhere
[Chorus]
Light
Set me free
Tell me no lie
Will I find the house of light?
There's no answer in this life
To the lie that separates me
From the light that still surrounds us everywhere
[Refrain]
Speak to me
Give me a sign
Set me free (Why don't you speak to me?)
Tell me no lie
I want to dwell in a house of light
[Outro]
Speak to me
Give me a sign
Speak to me
Give me a sign
