All blossoms die in the light of our new culture
Find your belief in that which cannot be discovered
Countless lessons lie in every fever dream
A million voices asking, what does it all mean?

I've lost all direction
I've lost all my direction
And now I wish that I would have believed, could have believed
ESCAPE! ESCAPE!
Nature's indifferent hand
RETREAT! RETREAT!
To the bliss of our creation
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/a/alexisonfire/born+and+raised_20902016.html ]
We were born and raised (We're raised)
To live beyond (Beyond)
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird (In search)
From the North (For warmth)
Our hearts will roam in search of warmth

Two hands come together
Pray for greater yields
Two poles of a compass
Guided by a field
In the mind of every man
Two ghosts dance
Was this place made or was it here by chance?

Chorus

Uncountable numbers written in new-fallen snow
I can hear the claws of the beast
Tapping at my window
Nihilist sleeps, and in dreams he sees God's face
Realize even disbelief requires a leap of faith

From birth to death we search for what's yet to be known
We hope and pray and ask, but we are never shown

Chorus

4x Born and Raised (and Raise
