lyrics
I awake, every day, an hour before the sun comes up
And I meet with the men
To prepare once again
For a day we pretend won’t come
Oh, to serve and defend
To stand with our friends
And protect the ones we love
And so I, I have seen the sunrise
It must be a thousand times
But I’ve never seen the light like I see in her eyes
I, this whole time, have lived in her moonlight
And life just seems so dim
Now that I’ve seen it so brilliantly lit
Oh, how we could rid of life’s wretchedness
If only all could see the colors so vividly
We’d see this world how it’s meant to be seen
Now I can see everything
Now I can see the whole world how it’s meant to be seen
The color and the love vividly
The warmth of her light shines on me
Now I can see everything
But what about him?
He must have seen what I’ve seen
And they’re set to marry in the spring
And who am I?
To take this man’s light
To rob my brother blind
And leave my brother blind
Speak now, or forever hold your peace
Your sword forever in your sheath
And I meet with the men
To prepare once again
For a day we pretend won’t come
Oh, to serve and defend
To stand with our friends
And protect the ones we love
And so I, I have seen the sunrise
It must be a thousand times
But I’ve never seen the light like I see in her eyes
I, this whole time, have lived in her moonlight
And life just seems so dim
Now that I’ve seen it so brilliantly lit
Oh, how we could rid of life’s wretchedness
If only all could see the colors so vividly
We’d see this world how it’s meant to be seen
Now I can see everything
Now I can see the whole world how it’s meant to be seen
The color and the love vividly
The warmth of her light shines on me
Now I can see everything
But what about him?
He must have seen what I’ve seen
And they’re set to marry in the spring
And who am I?
To take this man’s light
To rob my brother blind
And leave my brother blind
Speak now, or forever hold your peace
Your sword forever in your sheath

about
Rope and Ladder Boston, Massachusetts
Rope and Ladder is the band and rock opera created by Jay Clark and Ryan Dolen.
The project has
been more than 10 years in the making—in that time, Jay and Ryan pieced together a narrative of epic scope steeped in intrigues of war, love, and betrayal.
The album balances delicate piano against distorted guitars, driving the palpable tension that accompanies the rising stakes of the plotline.
