lyrics

Here we stand, beneath the twilight
Watching and waiting for stars to pass by
I remember the times we used to watch the clouds dance
Now I try to forget all the time that flew by

A creature in armistice, still in spite of what we knew
But life is a open wound, and it looks like you're cut too
We're all just children of the blade

You used to stay out and watch the sun rise
But now its too cold and you’d rather stay in
Now it takes you a while to wake cause you’re aching
And it feels like you’d be better of stuck in bed

But life won’t get better while you’re sleeping it away
So get out of your own head and come on outside today
And try something you’ve never done before

You’ve never done before
Children of the blade
Come down and cut me from this aging prison
Till I see you once again

Stop running from your past
Embrace all your mistakes with open arms
They're sharpening a knife
To cut your rusted blade
And free you from a broken, brittle cage

Don't hide away where the crows reside
You're finally free to get up and fly
You got it back, the life that you once had

Now fly somewhere you've never seen before
You’ve never seen before
Children of the blade
Come down and cut me from my aging prison
I'll see you all again, in the end
As a child of the blade
