The Glowing Embers

Falling through the glass window of existence
Condemned to evolve outside their codes
You can't follow the contours; you only brush against the ruggedness

There is nothing out there for people like you and me
From now on, you will roam amidst the shadows
You are banished, but you will learn to live like me

Desperately looking for a secret entrance
By will, or by inculcated reflex?

Without a sign or a warning, they've cut you out
They thought a pariah's life would consume you
No one will remember us fifty years from now
No one will respect or thank us, make no mistake

Freedom
Son of the ordeal
Freedom
Forever swimming against the current
Freedom
The fire might go out someday
Freedom
But the glowing embers forever remain

Falling through the glass window of existence
Condemned to evolve outside their codes

There is nothing out there for people like you and me
From now on, you will roam amidst the shadows
You are banished, but you will learn to live like me
You will learn to live like me
Forever swimming against the current
You will learn to live like me
Amidst the shadows
