The Ground We Gain



THE GROUND WE GAIN

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

THE NIGHT SKY SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL
HOLD ON A MINUTE DON'T LET GO
WE LAID IN TWILIGHT
WATCHING THE STARS
WAITING FOR A SIGN
SEAMLESSLY ENDLESSLY
TIRELESSLY SEEKING
A MEANS A WAY
TO BE WHERE WE SHOULD BE
TO FALL UPON, THE THINGS WE NEED

THE DOORS FLUNG OPEN WIDE
WE SLOWLY WALK OUTSIDE
WE'RE FREE TO GO
AND THE RAGING FIRE
THAT BURNS WITHIN
COMES BACK TO LIFE
AND THE ROAD BEFORE US CALLS OUT
TAUNTING US TO FIND OUR WAY
LEADING US FROM DARKNESS
DELIVERING US TO THE LIGHT

THEY'LL BE NO MORE OPPOSITION
WE CAN'T PUSH ASIDE
NO SECOND CHANCES
FOR THE MACHINE THAT SPITS OUT LIES
EYES OPEN WIDE AS WE
CLOSE IN ON THE PRIZE
THEY KEPT SHIELDED FROM OUR EYES 

THE GROUND WE GAIN
WE'LL NEVER LOSE AGAIN
DEAD AND GONE
THE CHANCE TO GET ALONG
THEY'LL KEEP ON TRYING
EVIL NEVER SLEEPS
ONLY RESTS UNTIL
THE DOGS OF HELL BARK
HERALDING IN THE NIGHT

ON FORGOTTEN STRINGS
BLOWING IN THE WIND
EACH ONE ECHOES TELLS
WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE'VE BEEN
A NEW DAWN IN TIME
A SKY OF GOLD
ALL SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL

AS YOU WIPE THE DUST FROM
YOUR ANCIENT IDOL
THE GESTURE EARNS A GASP OF AWE
SEE THEM SHAKE AS WE NEAR THE TRUTH
LEAVE TO RUN AND HIDE
YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY
THE TRUTH IS ON OUR SIDE
