lyrics

Between together or sever they chose
To find another place but would they make it on their own?
So unassured that none of them would say
They knew the where but didn’t know the way

The lands moved closer together for them
And the ocean turned to dust so they walked it in the end
And what they found were people without names
They couldn’t help but wonder what went on their graves
They couldn’t help but wonder what went on their graves

They found that they were the tallest in town
Declared themselves the leaders and that they won’t be pushed around
They looked for fear but didn’t find a trace
Upon the faces of the people without names

"Just who do you think you are?
A name is just a sound and it won’t get you very far
We know your hate is nothing without words
And you've strangest voices we have ever heard”

You’ve the strangest voices we have ever heard
You’ve the strangest voices we have ever heard

But it came down to what was in their wallets
Oh my god
How easily we fall
