The Embers – We Are The Fratricidal Killers lyrics

We left home to set fires in the hearts of others, only to return
To our city on a hill burnt to the ground.
But these flames were different than the ones we've kindled so closely...
They were storehouses to the silhouettes of every weapon used to fight our cause.

Oh God, what have we done?
Our outstretched arms were left relaxed
We did nothing. We did nothing
Except watch you slip through the cracks

That's when he'll try us...when failure will cost us everything.
We've lost the child-like trust that was once so strong
And exchanged hope for the promise of this world.
And now, the love we've failed to extend piles burdens on our backs.

Oh God, what have we done?
Our outstretched arms were left relaxed
We did nothing. We did nothing
Except watch you slip through the cracks
