American Metalcore band Silent Planet performing "Orphan" on the 10 Years of Constellations tour with Silverstein and August Burns Red at Rebel Nightclub Toronto, Canada.
Respective perspectives worshiping directives
Blindly killing for our dogma [1]
Until our sons meet in the garden [2]
Torches scald the night sky
The youth rise up and set their elders to the gallows [3]
Fire in the lighthouse
All our advances a spark away from conflagration
In the night I saw you fall, oh wicked star [4]
Illuminate our hate, show us who we really are
Books were burned away
Only swords remained [5]
The prophets died for peace
Stabbed by preying priests
As the wise man said, "I'll keep my heart and lose my head" [6]
Without a neck how can I sink
With a millstone to the bottom of the sea? [7]
The bottom of the sea
And I’m finding the violence
It looks like me
Singing songs of life
When all we know is death [8]
A world of orphans [9]
Left empty-handed
If love’s a sin I’ll become a heretic
Recurring intervention: [10]
Framing the narrative to cleanse our tainted conscience [11]
Harvesting destruction:
Reaping the sow from weapons planted in the soil [12]
Terrified little son
Encumbered by your sword
You can hide your fear but won’t shed the sheer
Weight of your own humanity
Humanity
You can face me towards the mountains [13]
Where I meet our mother’s gaze [14]
Too blinded by this hatred to recognize your brother’s face [15]
Singing songs of life
When all we know is death
A world of orphans
Left empty-handed
I’ll collapse
Head parting from my weary shoulders
Seeds of life spilling from my palms [16]
Subverting love [17] will take hold in this hateful soil
My blood is the water
Inshallah, Shalom
Love will take hold
