"Twe27ySeven" lyrics

A course was set
But with a planet this far gone
Was there ever any hope at all?
I vaguely recollect the ache of our ambition
Our brief age of contrition
We set out, we had a mission

Once our common cause
I would give my all
The sun could not outshine me
It wasn't something new
Just something real and true

There is a fire in my heart
And somewhere deep inside
A cry for war still overtakes the silence

All they ever see is my face
It's all part of the show
Our masquerade, always
Dawn is only so near
And our pain and our pride
Is all we have here
Always

We are too busy standing tall
Caught up, and too afraid
What happens if we stumble, if we fall?
We build our homes of sticks and weeds
And fear the wind too much to risk planting new seeds
But that's just what we need now

Once our common cause
I would give my all
The sun could not outshine me
It wasn't something new
Just something real and true

There is a fire in my heart
And somewhere deep inside
A cry for war still overtakes the silence

All they ever see is my face
It's all part of the show
Our masquerade, always
Dawn is only so near
And our pain and our pride
Is all we have here
Always

But you're still on my mind, in my sights
And if I have to carry on alone
I will conquer on my own
I stand outside the world
A Guardian
I will defend it with my life
And I am soaring ever higher

All they ever see is my face
It's all part of the show
Our masquerade, always
Dawn is only so near
And our pain and our pride
Is all we have here
Always

All they ever see is my face
It's all part of the show
Our masquerade, always
Dawn is only so near
And our pain and our pride
Is all we have here
...all we have
