lyrics

DO THE LANTERNS LEAD US ON FROM AFAR?
DO OUR EYES BELIE THE MEMORY OF THE FRIENDS WE’VE LOST?
TAKE COMFORT, IF YOU BELIEVE YOU’LL MEET AGAIN
BUT UNTIL THAT DAY, AS WE MORTALS MAY, LIVE TO HONOUR THEM

LET US NOT BE WEIGHTED BY WHAT WE CAN’T CONTROL
THE PAST CANNOT BE CHANGED, THE FUTURE CALLS US ON
AND SHOULD YOU TRY AND FAIL—STAND AND START AGAIN
THE DEEPEST CUTS ALL HEAL
LEAVING ONLY WHAT YOU LEARNED FROM THEM

TEMPERED BY THE FORGE, LADEN AS THE DIE ARE CAST
ONWARDS WE MOVE
BEARING ALL OUR WOUNDS UNTIL THE WORST IS PAST
IN THE AFTERMATH WE’LL ANSWER TO OURSELVES
FOR OUR MEASURE OF OUR ACTIONS AND FOR OUR VICTORIES

SO WE CHANGE
SO WE CHANGE THE WORLD
HIDING NOT AMONG THE THOUSANDS
BUT WITH A VOICE THAT’S HEARD
AND THE AGES TURN AS THE AGES TURNED BEFORE
IN THE ACTS OF OUR TENACITY, LONG MAY WE ENDURE
