Conversations with Fallen Saints Lyrics

I've been tearing down these walls. I've seen it all. We wear our sins on the backs of angels; we wear regret in our skin. Give it weight. Sink it in.
Is this what you wanted, trading love for violence? They stand here wanting something more than promises. The destruction that's to come, the collection of daughters and sons. Casting out all the idols we made. Fools teaching fools, the blind lead the blind. And all of this is in our hands this life without and death within. The suffering of an aged nation, it shakes the ground and it calls our name. Ransoming the rest we gave our lives to save. We give our lives to save. What is this, the Son of Man betrayed by a kiss. So is this our inheritance? Some broken bones, some blood stained hands? I count the cost of this violence. It's evident that we will see this end. This is the life we lead. You gave us a love everlasting.
There is a strength in us to take back everything we once held dear. To rise and rise again and wash the blood from our hands.
We'll take it back, the worth of this world. Wake up you saints! Open your eyes! This is the life we lead. This is the love we keep. Don't you dare turn your back on this.
