General Information
Written by: TBC

Lyrics
We believe in us
I can't remember why I believe in us
These seeds of the past, they keep springing up
Nothing will [?]
But we can't be trusted
How did the future stop with us?
Blind belief, were you afraid to see
That our fathers were wrong?
We hold the key to redemption
The night comes now
[?] break away
Stay down [?] this broken [?]
Escape your [?]
We're falling to pieces
The future is rising up
Blind belief, were you afraid to see
That our fathers were wrong?
We hold the key to redemption
The night comes now
Push through [?]
Unbreak the system
Arms up [?] sunrise/sacrifice
Lay them down
Lay 'em down, lay 'em down, lay 'em down, lay 'em down
Blind belief, were you afraid to see
That our fathers were wrong?
We hold the key to redemption
Love over all
We hold the key to redemption
Love over all
