"Rival" lyrics - SOEN

They promised this would be our home
They led us here, to rest our hearts
A shelter for the future born
To embrace peace and harvest hope

Divided from the ones we love
We saw them slay what we adore
The soil is dry, the water foul
There's only past where I came from

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
The ones we leave are left behind in need

[Chorus:]
For all I had, vanished
My hands will burn your walls
This is who I am, fallen
An icon of the loss

[Post-Chorus:]
For all the fire
For all the fire

The sanctions that you force on us
Asphyxiate the overcome
Despair is built within our house
Breeding the weak to feed the strong

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
The thoughts you feed, you can't restrain
They'll turn to you and be your bane

[Chorus:]
For all I had, vanished
My hands will burn your walls
This is who I am, fallen
Commander of the lost

[Post-Chorus:]
For all the fire
For all the fire

[Outro:]
The walls are higher, fields are burning
And my dreams are all there is
The light is blinding, no prayers answered
For salvation never came
