Promised Land (feat. Lizzy Fleig & Matthew Nels)
Can't go back, can't go forward
Sick and frozen at the border
The smuggler seized every penny
But the destination will reimburse me
If we can just get past the hose and jump the fence
Utopia will justify this mess
Oh, life and liberty
What must I risk to find your rest
The great exhale in your embrace?
The rule of silence grows
Will I lose the hope I hold
The promised land that is safe?
Can't let you in living life this way
Can't let you die in a cutaway
Your life's on the line, but my home is too
Am I the outlaw that I see in you?
Is it criminal to speak of what we see?
Utopia is not reality
Oh, life and liberty
Our open hand shut to a fist
Venire of innocence erased
Dissociating minds
Ice the strangers we've become
In our promised land that is safe
Where's that paradise?
Did I lose my sight?
Or did it disappear in the snow?
Have I lost my home?
And the heart I know?
Where oh where has it gone?
Where's that paradise?
Did I lose my sight?
Or did it disappear in the snow?
Have I lost my home?
And the heart I know?
Where oh where has it gone?
Oh, life and liberty
What can we do to find your rest
The great exhale of your embrace?
Will unity come home
And make a way to coexist
In the promised land that is safe?
In the promised land that is safe
Will we find
The promised land that is safe?
Sick and frozen at the border
The smuggler seized every penny
But the destination will reimburse me
If we can just get past the hose and jump the fence
Utopia will justify this mess
Oh, life and liberty
What must I risk to find your rest
The great exhale in your embrace?
The rule of silence grows
Will I lose the hope I hold
The promised land that is safe?
Can't let you in living life this way
Can't let you die in a cutaway
Your life's on the line, but my home is too
Am I the outlaw that I see in you?
Is it criminal to speak of what we see?
Utopia is not reality
Oh, life and liberty
Our open hand shut to a fist
Venire of innocence erased
Dissociating minds
Ice the strangers we've become
In our promised land that is safe
Where's that paradise?
Did I lose my sight?
Or did it disappear in the snow?
Have I lost my home?
And the heart I know?
Where oh where has it gone?
Where's that paradise?
Did I lose my sight?
Or did it disappear in the snow?
Have I lost my home?
And the heart I know?
Where oh where has it gone?
Oh, life and liberty
What can we do to find your rest
The great exhale of your embrace?
Will unity come home
And make a way to coexist
In the promised land that is safe?
In the promised land that is safe
Will we find
The promised land that is safe?
