Blessed are the Broken

(Verse 1)
Down to the wire, staring into the wall
Empty in spirit, waiting for the call
They see us as grieving, lost in the hum and the drone
But the weight of this sorrow means we’re not alone
We keep our heads low, the humble and the meek
Tired of the shouting, the language they speak
They promise us nothing, but the echo remains
That the quiet earth is ours, despite the chains.

(Chorus)
They can call us failures, they can call us weak
But a greater promise is the air that we seek
We’ll inherit the earth, yeah, we’ll see the light
Blessed are the ones who dare to live right!
Let them throw their stones, let the mockery fly
We’ve got a reward waiting in the endless sky.

(Verse 2)
There’s a fever inside, a hunger and a thirst
For a justice that always puts the last ones first
We walk on the knife edge, with mercy as our guide
Showing the compassion they try so hard to hide
Keep the engine clean, the heart uncluttered and pure
So the vision we’re chasing can truly endure
Work for the silence, where the fighting can cease
We’ll be the children born of a savage peace.

(Chorus)
They can call us failures, they can call us weak
But a greater promise is the air that we seek
We’ll inherit the earth, yeah, we’ll see the light
Blessed are the ones who dare to live right!
Let them throw their stones, let the mockery fly
We’ve got a reward waiting in the endless sky.

(Bridge)
They will mock you, they will lie, put your name in the dirt
Say every evil thing just to watch you get hurt
But the ancient warning rings, through the fire and the rain
The prophets walked this road, we will walk it again!
Be happy about it! Be glad!

(Guitar Solo - Builds to a heavy, distorted peak, then drops back to a clean, repeating bassline)

(Chorus)
They can call us failures, they can call us weak
But a greater promise is the air that we seek
We’ll inherit the earth, yeah, we’ll see the light
Blessed are the ones who dare to live right!
Let them throw their stones, let the mockery fly
We’ve got a reward waiting in the endless sky.

(Outro)
The Kingdom is theirs...
The Kingdom is ours...
(Fade out on distorted bass and cymbal crash)
