lyrics

[Movement I: Starting, climbing]

[Movement II: Softly, slowly]
Is now the time for us to rise
Bleeding from an empty grave?
(We were held in here)
The sun shines dark upon my home
(For far too long)
Laying out it's broken wings
(Our wings, not spread, not free)

[Movement III: Stealthy, forward]

[Movement IV: Onwards, quickly]
We're broken in the bottom
Of a fast revolving ditch
It's hard to climb back out of here
Of here
Of here

It's getting hard to see you
There's no way to get away
We're just holding onto life around here
Around here
Around here

I want to leave this place now
Where it's getting hard to breathe
I don't know why I'd ever want to live here
To live here
To live here

[Movement V: Halting, hiding]

[Movement VI: Further, faster]
We are the nameless
And the hollow
And the empty
And the dead
Release us
Set us free
Imprison us at your peril
For when we awaken
We will fly like merciless storm
Over your burning southern cities
We are the nameless
And the hollow
And the empty
And the dead

[Movement VII: Over, out]
