Song lyrics

Welcome home!
While away,
They have tampered with the locks
And your things they rearranged.
"We propose a better way"
Said the note they left behind,
In their wake of disarray
You fell in place...

"Don't fall asleep, they'll find us here
I know a place to disappear",
As a voice proclaimed:

[Chorus:]
"What we are is the sum of 1000 lies,
What we know is almost nothing at all,
But we are what we are
Till the day we die
Or till we don't have
The strength to go on".

Let us cry! Let us be,
Let us open up our hearts
Without fear of anything.
Faith alone is all we need
To traverse this burning bridge
Now before it gets too late.

You claim it's fine,
But the heart reveals
What smiles betray,
Your sad-sad eyes gave you away
And don't you know

[Chorus]

Our shoulders bear an awful weight
But still we trudge on just the same,
Our colors run then leave a stain,
They blacken our once honest name,
But how can we argue, tell me,
Over the fury and the fire,
How many times can we tell you that we
Are not like you, we see right through
Your poor disguise that fails to fool
The wary eye
That's trained on you.

[Chorus]
