Dark Winter

The ash piles
Familiar sight today
Black snowflakes in the wind
The yesterdays our callused fingers can't reclaim
Each heavy breath
We take is proof
Of daunting war zone paths we didn't want
But to survive all had to choose
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
The ice will melt
The sun will come
Sickness breeds shadows that lurk in hearts
Till they tear and bleed
Dark Winter
Perseveres
Voices screaming together as one
We won't take bended knee
Dark Winter
Perseveres
And so do we
Contagion burdens our humanity
Where childrens used to play
Now violence flares their futures crushed an quarantined
Scattered we all know what it takes
To weather through the cold
'Cause if we we fall we forfeit too much that's at stake
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
The ice will melt
The sun will come
Sickness breeds shadows that lurk in hearts
Till they tear and bleed
Dark Winter
Perseveres
Voices screaming together as one
We won't take bended knee
Dark Winter
Perseveres
And so do we
Lives are lost
Hearts displaced
And no one knows
How many
We can save
Far off from home
Frozen still
But one day
We will outgrow
Break through
Sickness breeds shadows that lurk in hearts
Till they tear and bleed
Dark Winter
Perseveres
Voices screaming together as one
We won't take bended knee
Dark Winter
Perseveres
And so do we
