I found the light
And the hope of a lifetime
And I grew it till the last rain fell
But mile after mile
I let it break my spirit
And I still remember how it felt

When you said you didn’t know
But you really had to go and
As you left you opened the door
To a new civil war

I felt the silence
And I called out to hide it
Then I listened with all the strength I had
To the songs of the doomed
And defense of forgiveness
And the exile of a shameful coup

Resistance contested
Rebellion and death and
The talk like they invented it
If you ask you’ll never know
There’s nothing left to show you
The truth is there’s no grace anymore
In a new civil war

I found the light
And the hope of a lifetime
And I still remember how it felt
When Resistance wasn’t tested
Rebellion and death and
The truth is there’s no use anymore
For a new civil war
