We have lived and we've died at least
A million times before
We familiar
Few who, promised peace,
Were sent to war
What men fight
To keep alive
They just as soon destroy
Then trade away dreams
For momentary shades of joy

Our homes become battlefields
Plowshares turn to swords
As the land that we share becomes
Surrendered to our lords

All the lines that divide us fall from
Shadowed skies above
And descend on
Our hungry hearts
Into what we
Call love

Convinced we are the enemy
They curse our place on bended knee
Guided by the war within,
We bend beneath their weighted whims

We get lost in the silence
Where words become violence
Then lost in the violence,
Our words become silence

Lost in the silence,
Where words become violence
Then lost in their violence,
Our words become silence

All split between many truths
And paths we're taught
to walk,
We collide with our jagged steel,
And forget how to talk
In the battles we're forced to wage
Humanity's not lost
Does the one who denies its wonder
Truly know the cost?

Our homes become battlefields
Plowshares turn to swords
When the mercy of martyrs
Becomes lost upon their lords

And when the blade falls upon us
Weakness does not
Make us weak
For the strength of one's
strength of all, the
The source of love we seek

It asks "how can you silence me?
When I am that which sets you free?
Listen past the bloody din
And you can hear me deep within”

But you're lost in the silence
Where words become violence
Then lost in the violence,
Words become silence
Oh, please don't deny me
Words don’t define me
In a world that derides me
I'm just trying to find me

But I'm lost in the silence
Where words become violence
Lost in the violence
My words become silence

Oh, please don't deny me
Words don't define me
I'm just trying to find me
I'm just trying to find me

But I'm lost in the silence,
(please don't deny me)
Where words become violence
(words don't define me)
Then lost in the violence,
(i'm just trying to find me)
My words become silence
(i'm just trying to find me)

So please don't deny me
(i'm just trying to find me)
Words don't define me
(i'm just trying to find me)
I'm just trying to find me
(i'm just trying to find me)
I'm just trying to find me

But I'm lost in the silence...
