Overture to a Ceasefire

What is this sound? What do I hear?
Is it a voice? What does it say?
How will I dare to follow?
Can it be true? Can it be real?
There are whispers through decades of time
Still they claim the illusion
Blame us for what they've done

On and on
All silent memories begin to sing
In a song
With all the love that still resides within

With all the love that's still within

What is this sound? Is it a dream?
Calling me here, it's so surreal
Will I be sane tomorrow?
If I pretend it isn't real
A nightmare through decades of time
What was once a delusion
Now when it has begun
Still they claim the illusion
Blame us for what they've done

On and on
All silent memories begin to sing
In a song
With all the love that still resides within
Long ago
When all the fallen tears were given wings
In a song
With all the love that's still within

What was once a delusion
Now when it has begun
Still they claim the illusion
Blame us for what they've done
Blamed for what they've done

Follow those whose hearts are adoring
Through the streets in gathered might
Arm in arm we sing eternally

Long ago (from the crimson lights of the morning)
When all the fallen tears were given wings
(To the darkest depths of night)
With a song (marching on towards uncertainty)
And all the within our hearts
