Bound by Chains in Fire

words & music by Brian E. Langston

there are no stars up in the sky
they're lost in city lights
a night like this could be a lie
with everything built so bright

I wanted to say just one thing
that actually meant its worth
when word was bond we were broken
constellations falling down to earth

with wings of vultures we descend
in nets our silver shadows
with wings of vultures we descend
to attend to earthly matters

when word was bond we were broken
constellations falling from the sky
ciphers of a generation
empires built upon a lie

traitors trading faith in margins
vanished now in empty worth
one thing was all I meant to say
before being put to earth

with wings of owls we rise up
become paler with our own fear
with wings of owls we rise up
tokens of our last desire

we are all gathered here
we are all gathered here
we are all gathered here
bound by chains in fire

speak now or forever...
