Exile

I once heard a song

Sympathy foregone

Sung my life apart

Tore out my heart

Drew me closer just to separate me

Cut and cast me away

Silenced every call

Let myself dissolve

And they said we don’t belong

But we bleed and sing along

Unto the sounds of pain

Gone are the days of we alone

Driven away to silent cold

There is the place we find our own

Follow me down in exile

I once heard a song

Restless and reborn

Woke my shattered soul

Drew me in whole

And they said we all belong

So we bleed and sing along

Unto the sounds of change

I found my reason in your wake

And now I’m forging our escape

No longer faltering in wait

Our voices ring beyond your grave
