lyrics

Wake up oh brothers destine to die
Wake up oh sisters God hears your cryies
Wake up oh mothers your spirit is new
Wake up oh fathers hold to the truths

Disembark to kill all our kings
Disengage to dream all our dreams
And the lonely hearts dance with the queens
And the broken cards laid at the table of time
We've got to distract our minds
Cause we can't face the pulling apart
Of the first grace that's hid in our hearts
We are why the world feels all alone
And our salty tears aren't finding us home
Its the case for Christ and it's at our backs
Pushing us, pulling us, loving us
Breathing our breaths
And singing when we've got no lungs to sing

Wake up oh brothers destine to live
Wake up oh sisters God brings good gifts
Wake up oh mothers comfort the weak
Wake up oh fathers you get what you seek

Whoa disenchant to hear the wind words and
The distant songs sung by the Churches
"The God of now, the God of then, the God to come, the great I AM
Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, You're the holy God"
