...

The storm has weakened the Minds of steel

To bring to capture Hopeless ones

Whose fear has passed Them incomplete

Whose words unspoken Breed no restraint

Breed no restraint

restraint

We watch as they run faceless faceless

We wait as they kneel faceless faceless

I hide from seeking faces

While all the rally is faceless

The storm has weakened the Minds of steel

To bring to capture Hopeless ones

Whose fear has passed Them incomplete

Whose words unspoken Breed no restraint

Breed no restraint

restraint

We watch as they run faceless faceless

We wait as they kneel faceless faceless

I hide from seeking faces

While all the rally is faceless

More hope for those caught up

More hope for those caught up

More strength for those caught up

More strength for those caught up

More hope for those caught up

More strength for those caught up

More hope for those caught up

More strength for those caught up

More hope for those caught up

More strength for those caught up

More hope for those caught up

More strength for those caught up

More strength for those caught up

More strength for those
