It starts today 
In our hearts
It's in the way
We’ve been torn apart
It lets us bring 
Ourselves 
Around and take one more shot
At something

Farther than we've known
What we've known

Oh say can you see it now?
Just beyond the edge of our grasp
And paid for in time lapsing
Generations in blood
Are the pages we follow
Oh all the blood 
On the pages we follow!

But if bleeding through water
If bleeding through water
If bleeding turns to water 
There’s a sign 
That things have changed
And a sign is what I see

A Sign

The time came
When we believed
In the threat
Of what we were told
Of what we were
In the threat of

People have died
And more are dying
So stay away
They say the distance is the key
But is it really?
They say keep the distance

Now to survive
They say we must divide
And be alone
And hide ourselves away
Hide away
They say be alone and away

But no way
To survive
For very long
Is divide and hide
But no way
To survive
Very long
Is divide and hide

And what we really need
Is a flicker of light
One spark
In the night
And we'll make it through
We can find the way
Raising Fire
Until the darkness fades away

Then George Floyd died
Totally Unjustified
And the world is hurting
And completely horrified
But the world decides
When enough becomes too much
This is no game, there is no bluff

But it’s being uncovered
Yeah now it’s being discovered
The system generates the lies
And hides in every disguise
While so many have died
And all unjustified
So stand up and see what we must decide:

Enough is enough
Enough is too much
Black lives matter too
So it’s up to us
It’s up to us
Enough is enough
Black lives matter

But no way
To survive
Very long
Is divide and hide
But no way
To survive
Very long
Is divide and hide

And what we really need
Is a flicker of light
One spark
In the night
And we’ll make it through
We can find the way
Raising Fire
Until the darkness fades away

(until the darkness fades)

Now as it comes
To the precipice
And many wonder
What did we miss?
How could we fall?
And now what can be done at all?
So the direction here is critical

Because what they don’t see
They do still need to know
Because we never fell
Because we’ve never flown
And we’re out of time
And we've got to name our crime
To give equality to humankind

But no way
To survive
Very long
Is divide and hide
But no way
To survive
Very long
Is to divide and hide

And what we really need
Is a flicker of light
One spark
In the night
And we'll make it through
We can find the way
Raising Fire
Until the darkness fades away

All the way!

Raising Fire

We may have
Upon us now
Something
We haven't seen before
We may have
Upon us now
Something
We shouldn't ignore

As we're
Letting go
Should we
Remember
What came before

Forever you
Forever
Forever new
Forever

And time has a way
Of repeating
Lessons
That we've learned before
But this time
Try to see
History has ended

As we're
Letting go
Should we
Remember
What we were fighting for

RIGHT NOW

I say:
LET US IN
LET US
LET US IN
TO SOMETHING NEW

RIGHT NOW

Modern Era Ending

How long must we go on believing that we're in opposition
When there is no such thing as competition?
And when you're gone is when we know
That it was nothing that you were opposing
And when you're gone is when you know
That it was something else that you were supposed to be

Believe it
Believe it
Believe it
Believe it

And when you find that all there is
Has come to you in coded, labeled superstition
Is when you find the road ahead
Is endless self selected proposition

Believe it
Believe it
Believe it
Believe it

Be
Free
See
Easily

Proposition

How absurd would it be 
If you walked away
After the next thing I must say

After you take one look at what we’ve done
After you’ve wept for everyone
And after you take one breath and step beyond this day

If it’s too late to save us 
The why cry to Jesus
Or any other god that was here before your day

And everyone rest assured time will account we’ve carried our gods
All the days that we walked the earth
But the wind that blew in the sand who knew it was a powerful mind 

That walked 
And wrestled the spirits 
Of animals and gods alike 

There’s only one reason
One place to put all your grieving
The Mother of Everyone will be here weeping 

If it’s too late to save us
Then don’t you see
It’s ours to save

I was a man, In your shoes, 
In the disguise, I was in the mirror
Through your eyes

It’s mine
And you
Must see
This part of me

Was it lost to you
To you

Words become obscured 
And the meaning 
When the walls bend 
With your breathing

Reflection's Ink

The further I go, the closer you are
The further we go, the mistakes we know
The further you go, the closer you are
And the further we go, The mistakes 
We know

The more human / I become / To you
The more love / I will feel / For you
The more human / I am / To you
The more love / I will feel / From you

The closer you are, the more torn I am
The walls we have built, and the blood that’s being spilt
Our lust is alive, and our love will drive
The closer you are

The more you you become
The more true all your desire will be
The more you I hope you have know it in me
Remember when it returns the choice is always free
Always free
And I know I’ve known you

Furthering

Separated from this bond What is here from what’s beyond  Searching for answers
In the space between the seams  Let it be in here
Seek to spring from the tear Fading from the light
And blinded by the night  Seperation  Seperation  What did you want to see? What did you want me to be? What did you want me to see? What did you want me to be?  By the hand that brings me to you I can see And by the hand that brings you to me Let this be  ..It’s coming back to be this now..  When the fever comes and I see it There is nothing more to do But be one and as one we are with it And as one you and I will see it through When the fever comes and I see it There is nothing more to do But be one and as one we are with it And as one you and I will see it through

The Fever

I’m tired and broken down
And I can’t understand how
‘Cause I’ve been trying so hard
Looking for the right place to start

And where the silence 
Breaks apart
All the sounds I am
I am exactly where I stand

Not falling back
But I’m 
Looking back
Right back into your violent plans

It’s so hard to trust, you know
Now that you’ve made up your mind
So don’t look too closely
Because I don’t want to have to turn away

And where the silence 
Breaks apart
All the sounds I am
I am exactly where I stand

Not falling back
But I’m 
Looking back
Right back into your violent plans

Not falling back
But I’m 
Looking back
Right back into your violent plans

Memento

We may have
Upon us now
Something
We haven’t seen before

We may have
Upon us now
Something
We shouldn’t ignore

As we’re letting go
Should we remember 
What came before

Forever you
Forever 
Forever new
Forever

And time has a way of repeating lessons we’ve learned before
But this time try to see history has ended

As we’re letting go
Should we remember 
What we were fighting for

Right now

I said

Let us in
Let us
Let us in
To something new 

Right now

Lyrics:
How absurd would it be if you walked away after the next thing I must say. After you take one look at what we’ve done. After you’ve wept for everyone. And after you take one breath and step beyond this day

If it’s too late to save us then why cry to Jesus or any other god - they weren’t here on our day

And everyone rest assured time will account we’ve carried our gods all the days that we’ve walked the Earth. But the wind that blew in the sand who knew it was a powerful mind 

that walked and wrestled the spirit of animals and gods alike

There’s only one reason, one place to put all your grieving - The Mother of Everyone will be here weeping

If it’s too late to save us, then don’t you see? 

It’s ours to save
