We were the elite until we broke free

now running around unbound by the burdensome body

we roll in the more, drinking the dirt

dragged through by our own mistakes

drowned out by the pain of the guilt

We escaped to find bondage with the enemy

who helped us destroy the works that we built

We were the elite until we lost touch

now fighting all alone in the cold angry dark

hearing naught but the screams of our brethren

ever faint beside the demons' howls and barks

The hope we once had is slowly forgotten

we exchanged our hope for mirth, trading too often

with the demons we had come to so dearly trust

Now we dwell together, burning in the dark

We were the elite until we gave in

we welcomed the world not asking it change

we loved them like brothers, expecting love to kill the sin

But when they wouldnt take our love, we expected it from them

we found out too late how foolish we'd been

We were the elite before we fell apart

losing sight of one another the fire died out

our love for Christ faded, along with our hearts

the truth we so cherished slowly faded into doubt

now running around unbound by the burdensome body

we live the old life, dying in our folly

walking the broad road away from our calling
