Interlace – Missing Link lyrics

My child, what did you see?
A portent so sharp
If the sky turns dark
May the facts still be stark
When only ashes mark the birth of fire
Feed the burnt soil
On your bended knees,
What did you fail to see?

The distrust came over us
It was our loss, couldn't come across

From a view drawn in sand
I am that I am
Accept me unto you

My child, what did you hear?
A voice crystal clear
If a bitter end draws near
Will words alone wet your lips
No imaginary force
Yet ciphers to a great accompt
Free state, volunteer,
What did you fail to hear?
