Long Forgotten Sons Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Far from home on a road unknown
Where the vultures circle on winds that blow
From northern skies that haunt these waking moments
On shadows cast by the mountain range
On calloused soles, we find our way
Through desperate eyes, we long for the horizon
While this sun is rising

[Chorus]
We are the long forgotten sons
And daughters that don't belong to anyone
And we are alone under this sun
And we want to fix the work that you've undone

[Verse 2]
When cries for help go unanswered
And signal fires just burn and burn
We wonder if we're waiting here for nothing
Cause our lips are sewn our ears are filled
With the constant drone of the unfulfilled
But we'll never fall if we stand for something
We stand for something

[Chorus]
We are the long forgotten sons
(what happens now, we don't know, just hold on tight now here we go...)
And daughters that don't belong to anyone
(what happens now, we don't know, just hold on tight now here we go...)
And we are alone under this sun
(what happens now, we don't know, just hold on tight now here we go...)
And we want to fix the work that you've undone
(what happens now, we don't know, just hold on tight now here we go...)

[Bridge]
Don't fall, I see lights in the distance
They're not far away
Stand up cause the sky is turning gray
There's hope in these footsteps of persistence
So don't go astray
These lights get closer everyday
We are the long forgotten sons
Yeah we are the long forgotten sons

[Chorus]
We are the long forgotten sons
(what happens now, we don't know, just hold on tight now here we go...)
And daughters that don't belong to anyone
(what happens now, we don't know, just hold on tight now here we go...)
And we are alone under this sun
(what happens now, we don't know, just hold on tight now here we go...)
And we want to fix the work that you've undone
(what happens now, we don't know, just hold on tight now here we go...)

What you've undone...
