Gladiolus Sword

We are young

but we have heart

Born in this world as it falls apart

We are strong

but we dont belong

Born in this world as it falls apart

I see the children in the rain

like the parade before the pain

I see the love i see the hate

I see this world that we can make

I see the life i see the sky

Give it all to see you fly

Yes we wave the flag of hatred

but you're the one who made it

Watch the beauty of all our lives

passing right before my eyes

I hear the hate in all your words

All the words to make us hurt

We get so sick we're so sick

We never wanted all this

Medication for the kids with no reason to live

So we march to the drums of the dammed as we come

watch it burn in the sun

We are numb

We are young

but we have heart

Born in this world as it falls apart

We are strong

but we dont belong

Born in this world as it falls apart

As we walk among these shadows

in the streets these fields of battle

Take it up we wear the mantle

Raise your hands with burning candles

Hear us whisper in the darkIn the rain we see the spark

Feeling the beating of our hearts

Fleeting hope as we depart

All together walk alone

Against all we've known

All we've ever really wantedwas a place to call our home

But you take all we are

The innocence of our hearts

Made to kneel before the altar as you tear us apart

We will fight

or we will fall

Till the angels save us all

We are young

but we have heart

Born in this world as it falls apart

We are strong

but we dont belong

Born in this world as it falls apart.
