lyrics

The salt in the earth is full now
Brimming with tears of the lost
And the sirens are too close now
Mixing with the chaos of thought

Isn't it always the silent ones
Who the world tends to evade
It's it always the peaceful ones
Who pay for the fools mistakes

We will survive we will thrive till the very end
And we we will stand here hand in hand
and we will not leave till we know that the storm has passed
And we will be here for you my friends

And mortality seems much too alive
For a people bound by kindness and strength
The mountains full of life will rise
At the people of the mountain expense

And being a thousand miles away
our hand feels bound by chains
Of stale entitlement and privilege
And By nature who knows no pain

We will survive we will thrive till the very end
And we we will stand here hand in hand
and we will not leave till we know that the storm has passed
And we will be here for you my friends

We will survive we will thrive till the very end
And we we will stand here hand in hand
and we will not leave till we know that the storm has passed
And we will be here for you my friends
