Pema Frey/Soundtrack

We exorcize the demons of the things we used to know

The gnashing of the teeth become the remnants of our homes

We think we're moving on, from materials we long

To forget we ever sold our souls to own

There's a chilling absolution that we're given at our birth

A powerful delusion and a plague upon the earth

But nothing scares me more than the stranger at my door

Who I fail to give shelter, time, and worth

Deep down in the gallows, in the lion's den

There’s no light, there's only night

No one to call, no body's listening

There, there, keep your head up

Lift that chin, watch the shapes shadows make

And soon enough they’ll be your friends

We've been testing you and you failed

To see how long that you could

Hold it in before you screamed

But you only exhaled

I don't think you even recognize

The sound of your voice

When it's blasting through the speakers in the sky

And if your words add up to nothing

Then you're making a choice

To sing a cover when we need a battle cry
