Slow Burn

Musik by From A Secret Place
Lyrics by Wolf Morrison

The common thread that links the present to every moment
Now left behind also binds the days and years to come
And every cycle of oppression and every scar left on the mind
Becomes a vein through which it runs

In this, a world bereft of light, this a world in chains,
Which serve now only to remind them of their fall from grace
This, their reward for sacrifice, this, for the war they waged,
This for which they gave our lives, this, and nothing more, remains

In songs and legends, half forgotten, something of hope
Persists through time, waiting just beneath the surface
And kept alive, by Dreams and Visions, strength remains to
Turn the tide. for they know, their chance will one day come:
When passions, suppressed, at last ignite and revolutions
Feed the fire in which these binding threads must one day
Break and burn

In this, a world bereft of light, this a world in chains,
Which serve now only to remind them of their fall from grace
This, their reward for sacrifice, this, for the war they waged,
This for which they gave our lives, this, and nothing more, remains
