The Legacy We Leave - Nations Afire

Stop

Are you ready to learn?

About the consciously indifferent

We collective have become in return?

Content just to stand here and watch it burn

Sand in the hourglass

Bury our heads

See how the other half

Plays with their lives in the dead of the night

Now I’m a believer

That we’ve gone too far

We stand in silence

And hold our breath for what we’ve done

(what we’ve done)

Lights out

Our work is done

We thread our violins

Holds our tongues and watch it burn

(watch it burn)

Lights out, our work is done

Remember

Remember

We can’t get free until we hold our heads up

Send send up the effigy

Strike out the band

This time it’s everything we have

(we have)

Now I’m a believer

That we’ve gone too far

We stand in silence

And hold our breath for what we’ve done

(what we’ve done)

Lights out

Our work is done

We thread our violins

Holds our tongues and watch it burn

(watch it burn)

Lights out, our work is done

And invitation to watch it burn

From every port in the storm we travel

Put on the black gloves

And go to work

And wipe your conscience clean

Of everything you’ve done

Do we turn away now

For what we’ve done?

We stand in silence

And hold our breath for what we’ve done

(what we’ve done)

Lights out

Our work is done

We thread our violins

Hour our tongues and watch it burn

(watch it burn)

Lights out

Our work is done

We stand in silence

And watch it burn

(the legacy we leave is hard to believe in)

(We thread our violins)

Lights out, our work is done
