The Human Abstract
Vela, Together We Await the Storm
[Verse 1]
A story without a name
A desert journey that we became
Another test of our power overcoming on a black day
Appalling how they're running for the honor like a campaign
To rise against the leaders of a phony dead scene in a magazine
I always figured there was something more

[Chorus]
Gone, so many friends and lovers
So far, nothing to show in turn

[Verse 2]
They'll take it all back, all those empty words
I'll show the dregs where all their slander has led
If it takes my whole life, for all the tears that I have shed
They'll take it back, I'm making a pact
They'll take it back, I'm making a promise
I'm eager to the task, exposing all who wear a mask

[Bridge]
It must be done
Binds as one, through it all
So pry, you won't be finding a faker
Nor will an opportune moment arise
[Chorus]
Gone, so many friends and lovers
So far, nothing to show in turn
Gone, so many friends and lovers
So far, nothing to show in turn
Gone, so many friends and lovers
So far, nothing to show in turn
