Avalanche from Avalanche by Mead Lake's Most Wanted

Dawn breaks
I’m feeling I’m falling short
Feeling I’m destined for
Some kind of end

Open eyes
Like wounds not yet cauterized
You know I have seen the light
It burns from within

The ruins always testing our faith, well they start with us
And they move in to settle their claim, they’re surrounding us
I’m buried beneath

The avalanche
The avalanche
The avalanche

Night tries
To blind me with city lights
But I see right through the disguise
To the message they send

Terrorized
By what I have compromised
I’m desperate to rise but I
Have fallen again

There’s no fooling the powers that pull us apart, we trust
We're not losing the only chance we may have to adjust
Till we’re buried beneath

I concede
There’s nothing but false conceit
Hidden within you and me
It pacifies shame

But hear me speak
Through surrender we’ll earn our keep
Reclaim the world for the meek
Our loss is our gain

The stars need a darkness to understand purpose so night can sing
And we’re choosing to listen more closely so dawn can bring
Bring down the end
