Lyrics

I used to dream next to a porcelain tree
Its shadow would cover the dark side of me
But darkness can no longer find me at ease
In darkness you left us in peace
And now you are free from the pain, and you need not to breathe
Under the ground by the porcelain trees
Far below the clouds where the sun claims defeat
That’s where your eyes will see… with certainty

Stateless and proud
The world lets us down
On we go
Facing the crowds
As we cry out
How many more?
Gone

Victims are calling for peace on divided sides
The war is on
We’re finding new meaning on what is and what’s not life
The pain just carries on and on

We’ll push aside your lives with fire
So feel your cause implode… denied
You’ll pay for all your crimes and desires
You’ll feel our power deprive you with lies

We’ll bury our babies in the night
Their silence reduces me, most of the time
Cries that embody a million lives
Embolden the wearied soul to stand up and fight
Or die

The self-righteous have concerned themselves with weightless matters
As the temple of prayer once again becomes a den of thieves
As the sun dies, we all die with it
If God has decreed a life for us, then he will give

I look into their eyes, and see demise
If not now, I won’t question why
We were plucked from the olive trees
That were burned to the ground
And the evidence we find won’t make a sound
How?

Will we dissolve into the river,
And be reborn and free?
Our broken hearts will not surrender
We realize we must be free… surrender

Drifting onward… shifting slowly
Harsh words spoken
Desperate emotion
Now hell

So, we’ll find them
And so we’ll kill
So we’ll die with them
And so it is…

The hours retreat
And so we meet
You’ve found my heart at ease
So take your shot at me

Nothing seems to matter now
We’re victims of your crime
I feel I’m dying
I’ll be just fine
There’s nothing left for me to cry
The tears are in your eyes
No time for your awakening
Just take your shot!

I used to dream next to porcelain trees
Fragile, they shatter and fall upon me
I used to sleep under porcelain trees
The dreams now like glass pierce right through me
