Enforsaken A Break From Tradition
“A Break From Tradition” Words by Steven Sagala, Music by Steve Stell. Screaming for mercy Why can’t they hear me? These nights are filled with heartache These nights are filled with an empty glass Just turn us up and step aside We know you very well We know what dwells down deep inside Come see this from the past ‘cause the cynics said it would not last Now watch them disappear The truth will begin right here These streets will burn behind you As tradition breaks tonight Go forth and tell the world We have arrived Our spirits clad in black This color runs down my back and leads me to your home The channel never has it Shift to automatic It’s how the cycle goes Then see what they really know These are the signs of our times Take what you want and leave all the rest Hearken back to reclaim your creation and break this tradition For years we have wandered in dismay Now here we stand as one Stronger than you’ve ever known The loss of innocence became your saving grace What can we do right now? What more can we say? Fuel the rage Echo salvation They’ll never run us out We’re martyrs in the making Look deep into their eyes They’re ripe for the taking Erase all the lines and get back in the fold This is the day and age Of monumental growth and change These streets will burn behind you As tradition breaks tonight Go forth and tell the world You have arrived
