The world is drained
Into harmonies and havoc
In the chorus
That faithfully climbs from mankind

The void is filled
With the anthems of pride
Of heartache and triumph
All the fellowship desired

We may live with ease
When the war-drums thrive
And they urge us along
Through the draw of hellfire

We may freely breathe
When the ballads arise
And they smooth out the kinks
All the jaggedness of life
