The Unknown

So, how many times have I opened my eyes to a world unknown

It was once a home

Oh, how many times have we seen this divide with no place to go

I want to know

Make no mistake, we're all so lost

With weary hands and spiteful tongues

It seems today we'd rather talk than understand

So lift us up out of the unknown

From where the walls carry our echoes

You've heard our cries, but stayed in the shadows

To satisfy a debt that we don't owe (one day)

So how many times have our rivers run dry

And our forests glow with flames that eat our homes

And how many times must our own children die

In these hallowed halls, repaint the classroom walls oh

So, tell me if you wanted to

You know I would follow you

Don't assume we could not be any better

So lift us up out of the unknown

From where the walls carry our echoes

You've heard our cries, but stayed in the shadows

To satisfy a debt that we don't owe (one day)

Oh, this anthem's of a fraying flag, stripes drenched inchemicals

Spit out what they have force fed you, and pull the curtain up

So, tell me if you wanted to

You know I would follow you

Don't assume we could not be any better

And just before I have to go, take me to a place I know

Not too soon, waiting for the perfect moment

Oh

Lift us up

Out of the unknown

So lift us up out of the unknown

From where the walls carry our echoes

You've heard our cries, but stayed in the shadows

To satisfy a debt that we don't owe (one day)

So lift us up

Out of the unknown

You've heard our cries

But stayed in the shadows (out of the unknown)
