• In a circle sat the sentenced,
    The thieves, the liars, the cheats,
    All alone in a forsaken place.
    Cast off from their former lives,
    Fit only to live among each other,
    Eternally forgotten;
    And all at once their heads turned towards the fog.
    As loud as thunder,
    As soothing as rain,
    A song began to play.
    The Songs of the Silenced,
    The Ballads of the Broken.
    In tune, the outcasts looked away in shameful tears;
    But something led their eyes back.
    In sync they realized.
    Together they rose and left their forever home,
    For they knew now what was calling to them:
    The Hymns of the Forgiven.
