The New Republic

HEROES FROM SCAVENGERS RISE
DEEDS IN WORD ENSHRINE
HEEDLESS OF SHIFTING TIDES
PAWNS IN A GRAND DESIGN

WITNESS TO OBLIVION'S FALL
HIDE FROM THE OMINOUS SIGNS
SHELTERING THIS MORTAL THRALL
MEAD OF PHILOSOPHIST MINDS

UNENLIGHTENED SOULS RESIST
AS THE WISE WHO LEAD 
STEP BLIND TO THE PRECIPICE

DREAMS TRANSCEND KINGS' EMPIRES
CITIES RISE IN THE DANCE OF FORGE FIRES
SEIZE MIGHT IN REGIME'S FIRST CRIES
AS WE CEDE GOD'S RIGHT 
WILL THE WORLD CAST EYES
ON THE RESTLESS SPAWNING
OF A NEW REPUBLIC DAWNING

SCRIPTURES TURNED ASHES COLD
PURGE HUMANITY'S CRIME
HISTORIES NO LONGER TOLD
LOST IN THE RATTLE OF TIME

REELING AT THE TREACHEROUS SIDE
THEMES OF IRREVERENT RITE
STEELING FOR THE IMMINENT SLIDE
CAST FROM KALLIPOLIS' LIGHT

WHAT ENLIGHTENED SOULS FORESEE 
RELENTLESS TIDE
RESIGNED TO THE PROPHECY 

DREAMS TRANSCEND KINGS' EMPIRES
CITIES RISE IN THE DANCE OF FORGE FIRES
RED SKIES FOR REGIME'S LAST CRIES
IN THIS AGE LONG NIGHT 
DESPERATE WORLD TURNS EYES 
FROM OUR VAIN FORESTALLING
OF THE NEW REPUBLIC FALLING

From the album The New Republic [MET 1325]
