Lyrics

You're a warrior fighting for your soul
Taken from the world above and brought down the world below

You're the son of his majesty
Remember how it used to be
In the light of day it's easy to see
Now it's nighttime
You had to leave

Separated from the king
Now the water's rushing and you keep trying to swim against the stream
And it seems, like your not moving the many water's gushing you gasp for air
Almost drowning ears ringing, once upon a time we were singing
One day the trees will stand and clap hands
Stream of thought getting caught in the klipa, this place is just a shell, external
Egos swell, that one'll burn ya, we fell a long way down, that eternal frown'll get you
You look vexed it's the dregs, the yetzer hara's lurking
Trying to make you forget we got a job to do
You can't be moved and your a priest and a prince

Chorus: you're a warrior, fighting for your soul
Taken from a world above, and brought down to a world below
Re-united, re-united return the princess to the king
Re-united, re-united, she's been taken for so long
Re-unite them, re-unite and then she'll be filled with joy
Re-unite them , re-unite like the days of her youth

Descended to the pit
What's this feeling can't get rid of it
Soul sick
Can't seem to shake it
When one retires at night weeping, joy will come in the morning
You made my mountain stand strong

Chorus

Like and ancient memory
Remember how it used to be
Close your eyes and breath in
That's the scent of freedom
Ringing across the sea
Land of milk and honey
One day will wake up from this sleep and we'll stop dreaming
Oh, yo, then we'll see clearly

Chorus

Our city's explains that everything in this world and
Everything in this life has his inner essence, a inner soul you know
And when it started out before the soul was reincarnated into this life
Into this body and time and place that we find oure selves
It was baskin above in the raze of godlynes you know
And it comes into this world for one reasin you know
That it should tranform the darknes into light
It should take the darkness of this world and make it light thats all
