Sonder - Polaris

Look at yourself

Narrow of mind, shallow of breath

So far removed from the plight

So far removed from the death of your kin, down-trodden and ill

Oh so high as you stood, how heavy you fell

As so many will fall for the bait

Compassion too little, too late

For some small peace of mind

How can you walk on the bones of your brothers' broken homes

Knowing how karma’s cold hand grips at your throat?

I’ve been trapped beneath the soil and the dirt

Do I close my eyes?

Do I close my eyes?

Lying still beneath the burden and the hurt

Am I dead inside?

Did I make it right?

Left in the dark, in blackest oblivion

Only forced me to learn that light comes from within

And only fades where fear prevails

Where is your heart?

Does it grow weaker each time you think of those you scorned from afar?

Their voices rise from the wreck to call you by name

The blood that tarnished the brush will mark us the same

What have we done?

What have we done?

Can you fight this, can you fight this alone and abandoned?

Look where we’ve landed and know

This must all have a consequence

Nothing, nothing will make sense again

You’ll never rest peacefully

You’ll never rest peacefully

You’ll never rest peacefully

You cowards, you cowards, you left them for dead

Left them out in the cold, they said

You liars, backstabbers, sold out your own kind

I can’t turn a blind eye, can’t rewind
