The only light on the shore is your home burning to the ground The only light in my brother’s eyes is the oath of the home port Watch it burn Watch it burn Paint the picture of the failure Paint the red shores of glowing coal Write down the story of the fallen The song of forgotten Never forget the oath Never forget yesterday Never forget the oath Never let go Breathe in the salty air of your home port We are not heading to the harbor tonight The blue line in the horizon keeps us as its prisoners But there's a spark in our hearts There is a spark in our hearts We speak with the words of revolution For the survivors For the lonely minds With the taste of blood on our teeth we strike beneath the sea Never forget the oath Never forget yesterday Never forget the oath Never let go Breathe in the salty air of your home port We are not heading to the harbor tonight We will not hide with the spark in our hearts Raise your flags high against the blood red sky For the fallen For the oath For the survivors For the home port We will not hide We will not hide We will not hide We will not hide underground

The world was close at hand Now I’m drifting alone Far from the shore with a thought long lost Keeping my distance from the eager years Never turning backAnd I chose to stay and wait forever And I count the seconds in my head as I break step by step The frozen anchors The choking chains The frozen anchors My dead and cold fingers strangling the bits of hope Once lost promises burning in the distance The sails have been torn down My crew is only an army of ghosts Army of ghosts I’m speaking for the cold and silent sea I’m whispering for the frosty wind I’m screaming for the singing mountains But the answer will always be the same They sing for the times that could have been changed They sing for the words that never were said And I chose to stay and wait forever And I count the seconds in my head as I break step by step The frozen anchors The choking chains The frozen anchors trapped in black ice Sing for the times that could have been changed For the words that never were said The frozen anchors

The work of creative minds is replaced with hollow structures The idea of better tomorrow has fallen with our anchestors The shadows of the machine cast upon the blood and oil spilled to the ground Can’t you see you’re the same as me? I’m not your enemy You’re the same as me Stare to the eye of the hostile We’re all the same We’re all alive Stare to the eye of the hostile We will survive We are the counter reaction We are the remedy The gears spin slower The gears spin slower Crush the icons of the dying world The faces of the cold and lonely earth Our heroes are sleeping now Deep in the seven seas Our heroes are sleeping now In the soil of the lost centuries Bring down the fences and unite Bring down the fences and unite Stare to the eye of the hostile We’re all the same We’re all alive Stare to the eye of the hostile We will survive We are the counter reaction We are the remedy The gears spin slower The gears spin slower We are the counter reactions
