Enslaved - The Voices lyrics

I hear their poisonous words again
As they call out for submission and code
"To be less than one and
Drown equals pride" they say
These were the voices that destroyed us

Did I want for this loss to be sustained?

Through the clipping of wings
Found the secret paths
From the blinding light of
Lies obtained second sight
Stabbed in the back
Gained strength in One-ness
Taken from me, I learned to preserve
These were the voices that sunk our ships
These are the voices - poisoned ears bleeding

Did I pray for the dead to be kept awake?
Did I gently place these
Thorns through the surface of my eyes?
Did I ask for this fathomless
Tragedy to go on forever?

Fail to comply - reborn in war
The answer being no

Did I?
