While waiting outside
We heard them coming back down
On the road that had holes and starved minds
Their faces were displaced
Outgrowing the unknown
They were no monsters shrieking
There was snow on the trains
And there was snow on the fields
And on the houses the paint was peeling off
Before the fallen and wasted
We were safe and sound
It’s over now
Sail to the faintest light
Cut thru the open sea
Let them know what they tasted
Place them at your feet
We used all their tears
But we took no pride in what we had to do
We left the past to drown
In the cliff that was
Broken before us
We were hungry for a while
But had nothing to eat
