No Compass - Continuance

Our charted course is lost the stars are veiled but you are leading us onward

Blindly fullspeed in to the fog ahead

The darkness grows as the night consumes the dawn.

Your promises split over the

rocks

With calloused hands we grip what weapons we have found

Kept from your eyes and your mind by your arrogance all of this time

While we’ve learned to steady our sights

We have seen of your last best hope the trail of decline

We have heard of your good news but what of the poor we continue to oppress

What love what grace is this that takes but never gives

What shame what rage is this that builds within the chests of those who have

been held down

The beating of our hearts is felt throughout the earth those who can see then

believe

For with each breath and beat regardless of intention propelling recklessly

toward the end in sight

We must take what time we have finding small ways to perpetuate changing waves

With one resounding voice we speak of the aching in our bones

This violent sea is not the home we know

It falls to us who’s steady hands will guide us on
