Fames (Rishloo)

Listen all you tired, you cold, you bitter masters Starving the weak The stories you have told cannot stifle the voices of need So wager your tales against our dreams Strangle, stall, monopolize, steal and separate Keep us all at odds and keep us all in hiding Drifting from the relevant we can learn again Orders enliven and take us down lightly Fold these wings I know they've failed you One more leap to fall beyond my knees Leaving sordid idols in our wake Lay them down side-by-side in visceral exchange These, oh, these wraiths And love them now forever as eyes consume the flawed Holding on to, holding on And stay awake Here we are at peace if only for a time To sleep entranced to scream In silence for our crimes Here we are at peace if only for a time To sleep entranced to scream In silence for our crimes Bury your heads and lock up your cage Lie so quiet and still But know you can't hide from positive change When questions burn inside the unfulfilled So how long do you think we'll wait and see our dreams denied When each and every one of us has felt this Tempest rise? Rise Here we are at peace if only for a time To sleep entranced to scream In silence for our crimes Here we are at peace if only for a time To sleep entranced to scream In silence for our crimes Here we are If only for this time To sleep entranced to scream In silence for our crimes
