When all is intermingled in the past the present and future
 
Understanding broken into pieces awaits the day
When all is mended by times weaving suture
 
Interchangeable realities of singular form
When all we see is but the byproduct of an invisible storm
 
A bride in labor pangs adorned in light
Darkness subservient to her rule
A twelve star garland as the foundation is laid

As life is the reward of those presumed dead
Forsaking lives for the promise of fulfillment, as the inheritance is partaken that was said
 
Given quarter in the face of persecution
Great wings fly to safe keeping
A nation regenerated sanctuary to a third world refugee
When the world is blind we still bear the legacy of the seeking
In the broken land of the brave and home of the free…
