Till We Make Our Ascent - The Reign Of Kindo

Stay here, stay in the moment

Where the blooming of spring never ends

Let’s go down by the willow tree

Roll with the hills 'till we make our ascent

All I imagined is all that I see

Gardens of flowers and warm summer breeze

There’s a place where no trouble is seen

Everything’s perfect, but it’s all just a dream

That I have when I sleep through a winter that never ends

Open, open your eyes to

A world of all that can sadden your heart

Color absent from all I see

Skies are grey and the streetlights are dark

Lost in a sea of sad faces and hearts who claim

«Eye for eye, tooth for tooth»

With words far beyond reproof, still I remain unconvinced

All these years, we’ve hoped and we’ve dreamed

For a final escape, but to no avail

All I hear, the infinite buzzing of vanity’s lips

Forming words for the eager of ear

There’s a man reciting the words of his God

In a room full of pliable hearts

And each word, teeming with fire

Consumes any reason that’s lingering near

Every word will precede a great cheer

To affirm that the problem could never lie here

And on goes the shifting of blame

All these years, we’ve hoped and we’ve dreamed

For a final escape, to no avail

All I hear — the infinite buzzing of vanity’s lips

Forming words for the eager in ear

What I wouldn’t give to go back to that place

Just to feel the warmth of the sun shining down on my face

The smell of young roses in bloom

I’d gladly spend the rest of my days in that afternoon

I can’t bear to look at another sad face

In this town riddled with fear

Close your eyes, we’ll make our escape

Shake the dust off your feet, dry the last of your bitter tears
