All blossoms die in the light of our new culture
Find your belief in that which cannot be discovered
Countless lessons lie in every fever dream
A million voices asking, what does it all mean?
I've lost all direction
I've lost all my direction
And now I wish that I would have believed, could have believed
ESCAPE! ESCAPE!
Nature's indifferent hand
RETREAT! RETREAT!
To the bliss of our creation [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/alexisonfire/born_and_raised.html ]
We were born and raised (We're raised)
To live beyond (Beyond)
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird (In search)
From the North (For warmth)
Our hearts will roam in search of warmth
Two hands come together
Pray for greater yields
Two poles of a compass
Guided by a field
In the mind of every man
Two ghosts dance
Was this place made or was it here by chance?
Chorus
Uncountable numbers written in new-fallen snow
I can hear the claws of the beast
Tapping at my window
Nihilist sleeps, and in dreams he sees God's face
Realize even disbelief requires a leap of faith
From birth to death we search for what's yet to be known
We hope and pray and ask, but we are never shown
