Heading for the Sun
Alexisonfire Lyrics

They are the nameless victims of a generation lost
People who feel lost and without identity, in a world affected by the mistakes of past generations.

Searching for somewhere to exist
Looking for a place to belong in a world where everything is uncertain.

Held captive by our mistakes
Trapped by the consequences of the actions of the past that affect us in the present.

Weak and unable to resist
Feeling powerless to change the course of events and overcome the negative effects of the past.

Resentful minds have ruled too long
People who remain angry and bitter about the actions of the past continue to influence our present and hold us back.

Young and old, weak and strong
People from all ages and backgrounds who are affected by the mistakes of past generations and who long for change.

We will drag our hindsight through the twilight of this era
We will examine and learn from the past to create a better future for ourselves in the present.

To where our freedom reigns and the old thought is laid to dust
We look forward to a future where we can exercise our freedom and where the old ways of thinking are replaced by progressive ideas.

Let the philistines wallow in their decadence
Those who cling to the old ways are only doing harm to themselves and will eventually suffer the consequences of their actions.

While the enlightened minds usher in the dawning of a new
Those who are enlightened and progressive are leading us into a new era of innovation and growth.

Time will come when we are all condemned
Eventually, we will all be held accountable for the actions of the past and the choices we make in the present.

For all the damage we have done
We must take responsibility for the damage caused by the mistakes of past generations and work to repair the damage.

Held accountable for all, battles lost, battles won
We are responsible for all outcomes, whether they are due to our own mistakes or the mistakes of others.

And the earth will coil each year, getting closer to its end
As time passes, the world continues to deteriorate and we must work to slow down the process.

What will our lesson be, when we are all ablaze?
We must learn from the past to prevent catastrophic events in the future.

That our benevolence was the start of our decay
If we are not careful, our good intentions can lead to corruption and ultimately harm.

Or that we did not learn from the mistakes of the past?
If we fail to learn from our past, we risk making the same mistakes over and over again.

We are heading for the sun
We are moving towards a brighter future, free from the mistakes of the past and full of hope and progress.

We are
We feel empowered and united in our journey towards a better future.

We are heading for the sun
We remain determined and focused on our goal, no matter what obstacles we may face.

We are
We stand as a collective force, ready to face the challenges that lie ahead.

We are heading for the sun
We are moving forward, towards a brighter future that we have created through our own efforts and determination.

We are
We are empowered and united, ready to shape a better world for ourselves and future generations.
