Small Gates

I had a dream that everything was perfect
But I cast those images like stones into the deep
I will not dream of other worlds
I won’t give up on this one
We’ve eaten our own
Devoured our young
Is anybody left to see what we’ve become?
Don’t send me into this darkness alone
Don’t make me face what I don’t know, what I don’t know
I remember what you told me to forget
While losing grasp of all that I held close
I am the one
I’ll carry the fire
I am the one
I’ll speak your name
When all other voices die
Everyone has been carried off by wolves
Everyone has been carried off by wolves
I feel the teeth tearing at my insides
But I won’t give up on this one
We are the ones
We’ll carry the fire
We are the ones
We’ll speak your name
When all other lights go out
