Lost Tribes

Late to rescue brothers, all of them but one
Price paid for survival, I'm the oldest son
Look back in anger, all the wars who've gone
The tides will carry me and who we are

Conceived in poison, never to survive
The light in the darkness with a lie
The lost tribes

He knocked the warning, live without regrets
Disobey commandments, we destroy ourselves
A deal with lesser devils, bring them to their knees
Existing only in a fading memory

Conceived in poison, never to survive
The light in the darkness with a lie
I will remember those of us that died
No chance, no murder, how we tried
The lost tribes

They lost their way somehow
They're waiting for me now
I walked the stones, I read the names
Cold and defensive, I remain
Six feet above them is the distance I may take
And whatever fate decides, I won't be buried by your side
