Songtext zu 'At Peace' von 31Knots

Oh, my father
It gives me great pleasure
To say I am the pride of the empire

Yet it does not quell
The hell of not knowing my homeland
As a member of the senate, I'm not sure you'd understand

You seem to be
At peace with this
Distance between
Us and the rest
You seem to be
At peace with this
Distance between
Us and the rest
Us and the rest of men

Whereas I am torn inside
By what is just and what is right
If war is our glory what cost do we concede?

Is our only hope in the ghost
Of ancient stories

You speak of life
As if we have
No enemies
No enemies
I understand
I understand
We've conquered land
And conquered sea
But every man
Who's roaming free
Has enemies
Has enemies

My father do not falter
If i inquire of our empire

To explain the fate
Said to be so great

After all it is you who instilled in me the moon

And for one forsaken choir
And for one forsaken choir

My father I will foster
The cause that makes us men, not dogs
But I will draw the line
When we approach the gods

Because our ways have never seen
...

Because our ways have never seen
The .. path ..

We ..
Lies and death

You speak of life
As if we have
No enemies
No enemies
I understand
I understand
We've conquered land
And conquered sea
But every man
Who's roaming free
Has enemies
Has enemies
