lyrics

Desert land
Where our milk and honey ran
Rain again
Thunder, bring the lighting in
Water glass
Held high by my calloused hands
I'll come back
Pray I don't get struck again

We are the iris
And we're just adjusting to the dark
We gain assurance
By shadows cast upon a wall

Careful hands
Hold the infant to my chest
Fragile stems
Peaking from the ashes
Hold his hand
Pray he wont repeat our sins
Build again
Pray it wont burn down on him

We are the iris
And we're just adjusting to the dark
We gain assurance
By shadows cast upon a wall
Just like our fathers
We're gaining ground with every step
We play with fire
Cause fire's that we have left

There's no corner we can see around
Just this fire that our eyes have found

We are, we are, we are, we are,
We are, we are, we are, we are, X2

We are the iris
And we're just adjusting to the dark
We gain assurance
By shadows cast upon a wall
Just like our fathers
We're gaining ground with every step
We play with fire
Cause fire's that we have left

Just like our fathers
We're gaining ground with every step
We play with fire
Cause fire's that we have left
It's all that we have left
