Dark Winter

The ash piles, a familiar sight today
 Black snowflakes in the wind
 The yesterday's our callused fingers can't reclaim
 Each heavy breath we take is proof
 Of daunting war zone paths we didn't want
 But to survive all had to choose
 Hold on, hold on, hold on
 The ice will melt
 The sun will come
 Sickness breeds shadows that lurk in hearts
 'Til they tear and bleed
 Dark winter perseveres
 Voices screaming together as one
 We won't take bended knee
 Dark winter perseveres
 And so do we
 ♪
 Contagion burdens our humanity
 Where children used to play
 Now violence flares, their futures crushed and quarantined
 Scattered we all know what it takes
 To weather through the cold
 'Cause if we fall, we forfeit too much that's at stake
 Hold on, hold on, hold on
 The ice will melt
 The sun will come
 Sickness breeds shadows that lurk in hearts
 'Til they tear and bleed
 Dark winter perseveres
 Voices screaming together as one
 We won't take bended knee
 Dark winter perseveres
 And so do we
 Lives are lost, hearts displaced
 And no one knows how many we can save
 Far off from home
 Frozen still, but one day we will outgrow break through
 Sickness breeds shadows that lurk in hearts
 'Til they tear and bleed
 Dark winter perseveres
 Voices screaming together as one
 We won't take bended knee
 Dark winter perseveres
 And so do we
