Rift
Weren't we supposed to be heroes? Defend our people? Win the day?
Wasn't it all supposed to make sense? Us against them. A world to save.
Wasn't there meant to be hereafter? The golden chance to meet again.
Weren't we meant to live forever? To see the morrow. To see the change.
Find me someone to blame while the loss burns strong
Show the one mistake that made it all go wrong
If I could just understand then I could just move on
But there's no-one to blame that you're gone
Weren't we supposed to tell stories? Of what you won. Of what we gained.
Doesn't the hero die in glory? Doesn't triumph numb the pain?
Weren't we supposed to build statues? Sing songs of the great stand.
Weren't you supposed to be watching? But you're not. But I am.
Find me someone to blame while the loss burns strong
Show the one mistake that made it all go wrong
If I could just understand then I could just move on
But there's no-one to blame that you're gone
It seems the rules have changed and now there's nothing sure
It seems that certainty was lies
It seems there's nothing left but what we grant ourselves
The promise died before our eyes
Weren't we supposed to be stronger? Than to stagger 'neath our shame.
Weren't we supposed to be smarter? Than to cast about the blame?
Weren't we supposed to move on now? Hold our flame up 'gainst the night?
Weren't we supposed to make you proud? Keep your memories alive.
Find me someone to blame while the loss burns strong
Show the one mistake that made it all go wrong
If I could just understand then I could just move on
But there's no-one to blame that you're gone
