weep not

from ignis mutat res by LUX INTERNA

lyrics

We have seen
The pregnant skies,
Give birth to clouds
Give birth to lies…

We have seen
this haunted earth
lost beneath
the tides of blood birth…

we have seen
this sacred heart
born as a sparrow
then torn apart…

we have seen with grieving eyes,
but we have seen…with no surprise.

We have tasted
This bitter fruit
From the soil of the heart
And its poisoned roots…

We have seen the mother fall
The father slain
And now the child crawls…

We have stood behind the crowd
Surrounded by shadows
These ideals of the proud…

We have seen through tear stained eyes,
But we have seen …with no surprise.

weep not, not for this world
for it’s faces and fires unfurled
weep not, not for this world
for it’s faces and fires unfurled
and we weep…
