You are the morning, you are the dawn

You fill the rivers you heat the sun. 

Trapped in paradise I stare out into the tundra of no mans land  
these metalled mountains and tarnished skies play no hand in our demise  
they simply are.

 
There were stars in our eyes in the beginning

There was honor in the beginning

There was a dream of freedom in the beginning

 
But how can I be free in world where freedom is bought?  
I am penniless, right less, sleepless and lost,  
Oscillating between good and great.

 
Stuck in the past

What happened to the heroes who fought for blood? 
Is bravery a gene too saturated among the swell of people now? 

Look around there is strength in our numbers yet

Truth to be found and nothing is set
