The Fortunate Ones
Evergreen Terrace Lyrics

We can get to the ocean.
Despite the challenges, we have the ability to reach our destination of the ocean.

Before the end of the sun.
We can make it there before the day is over.

We can wash off the ashes.
We can cleanse ourselves of the ruins and devastation.

We are the fortunate ones.
Despite the destruction, we are still alive and have hope for the future.

Against the tempest we run.
We face the storm head on and continue on our path.

Check your pulse.
Make sure you're alive and conscious of your surroundings.

Make sure that you're still breathing.
Confirm that you are still able to live and fight another day.

Catch your breath.
Take a moment to rest and recover before continuing onwards.

Accept that you're not dreaming.
Face the reality of the situation and don't deny the gravity of the circumstances.

We saw the swarm rise over the mountains.
We witnessed the danger and destruction that is coming our way.

Held onto hope as we lost track of days.
Despite losing our sense of time, we held onto hope for a better future.

You better run and hide.
To survive, you must flee or hide from the danger.

Carry what you love.
Take with you the things that matter most and give comfort and security.

Keep it by your side.
Hold onto those things closely for support and strength in difficult times.

They'll leave nothing behind.
The danger will destroy everything in its path.

Our bones picked clean.
The devastation leaves nothing but emptiness and despair.

And the whites pulled from our eyes.
We are unable to ignore the truth of the destruction and devastation caused by the danger.
