M. Lockwood Porter - What We've Lost Lyrics

There's a fog that never fades away
And the sky, it grows darker by the day
There's a poison in the land
It'll convince you that you're damned
Make you so weak that you can't stand

All the things we learned when we were kids
Were only meant to keep the darkness hid
But something deep inside you saw
A light that lives beyond the law
And that the truth is wild and raw

As the promise of the future starts to fade
All the ties that bound us up have been so frayed
Everybody's feeling angry and afraid
It's what we've lost

There's a deadness in my neighbors' eyes
But it hides a spark that never truly dies
There is music on the wind
I hear it in the voices of my friends
One day this dark is gonna end

As the promise of the future starts to fade
All the ties that bound us up have been so frayed
Everybody's feeling angry and afraid
It's what we've lost

Now our tattered banner's flapping in the wind
And we're paying up for centuries of sins
And all our hated enemies were once our friends
It's what we've lost
