Embers of Remembrance by Blue Saint Lyrics
Before becoming jaded,
I warmly welcomed January's two-faced face, Janus,
Embracing the nascent aura that adorned his frame,
His eyes bore doorways and open gates, and encased behind his double-glazed iris laid, wide corridors to hope and faith
And in the chase of making major changes to the ways I would live my days
I… entered Janus’ open gates with 20/20 vision,
While unaware of the adjacent dangers that would later taint the chambers of our brains,
I… at first only heard tattered tales that a tall tyrant trailed towards us, tiptoed and waited to hit our shores,
He marched forwards with 20/20 vision,
A silent assailant waging war on our terrains, targeting our hearts, but faith is
What made us brave against the enemy
It's what made us crusade against the cruel sabre of violence, by aligning our minds and vying to stick together
Tied and tethered by valiant values, remembering we're one unit with different sections
One body with different members
A human needs their appendages,
For our weapon is our trust, the piece we carry,
That Heaven sent to us, we’re armed with love like Yeshua
And our quest is far from over
So for the fallen, we stand
Fighting any cancerous plans
We stand, and advance past maleficent hands,
We stand, remembering the veterans and first responders,
The critical workers, the nurses, the doctors,
Delivering service and performing operations with patience
We are the blazing, crimson rays of a poppy,
In this human race we light the ways for the next generation,
We… torches, batons, that run the track of time,
I… saw a poppy's glowing embers and was reminded and remembered.
