Today the wars have ended
and I am changed forever on
I stopped the bleeding from my head
and held my hands up high

the older me is at my feet
he screams for some attention
he speaks of how I used to be
untouched, out there, alone

this is my homeland
a place in the sun
you are my homeland

since you've occurred
since you've been here
my daemons have stopped breathing
their voices echoes in my lungs
yet I don't need to scream

I can't believe we're standing here
and I don't need my shields up high
I want to risk
I want to dare
I am afraid no more
