 Welcome home

 While away

 They have tampered with the locks

 And your things they rearranged

 “We propose

 a better way.”

 Said they note they left behind

 In their wake of disarray

 You fell in place

 Don’t fall asleep

 They’ll find us here

 I know a place to disappear

 As a voice proclaimed

 What we are is the sum of a thousand lies

 What we know is almost nothing at all

 But we are what we are until the day we die

 Or until we don’t have the strength to go on

 Til' we don't have the strength to go on

x2

 Let us cry

 Let us be

 Let us open up our hearts

 Without fear of anything

 Faith alone

 Is all we need

 To traverse this burning bridge

 Now before it gets too late

 You said. “it’s fine”

 But the heart reveals

 What smiles betray

 Your sad sad eyes gave you away

 Don’t you know

 What we are is the sum of a thousand lies

 What we know is almost nothing at all

 But we are what we are until the day we die

 Or until we don’t have the strength to go on

 Til' we don't have the strength to go on

Our shoulders bear an awful weight

But still we trudge on just the same

These colors run then leave a stain

They blacken our once honest name

But how can we argue, tell me

Over the fury and the fire

How many times can we tell you that we

 Are not like you, we see right through

 Your poor disguise that fails to fool

 The wary eye that is trained on you

 What we are is the sum of a thousand lies |

 What we know is almost nothing at all |

 But we are what we are until the day we die |

 Or until we don’t have the strength to go on |

 Til' we don't have the strength to go on _| x2

 Yeah, we don't have the strength to go on
