Dissenter cover
08. ESCAPE
Album: Dissenter
Artist: Haste The Day
         
 

Stretched out
Torn earth
This path will be reworked
One day we’ll find
The peak of beauty denied
Lifted high above the threshing
The ground has been reshaped
I sit here alone
Having barely escaped

Open the gates
(And lead us out)
To our escape
We said we’d never leave
Open the gates

This beautiful wilderness
Adorned with your life
Stretch out your hand
And make me thine
To hold the keys of longing
Water of life
Leave the earth in all its pining
Seek the fruit that is ripe

Open the gates
(And lead us out)
To our escape
We said we’d never leave
Open the gates

Open the gates
Open the gates
Open the gates
Open the gates

We let you in
You cast us out




Behind the Song:
ACT III: Escape and Transcendence
Tracks: “Escape”, 'Adrift', “Teeth”, 'Oblivion'

'Escape' is about escape - both literal and metaphysical. There’s a mix of biblical and mythic language (“open the gates… water of life… wilderness”), representing a spiritual and physical exodus.
