Story Behind The Song
With a widening sense of history and context, we wanted to address these issues of memory and idolatry.
Song Description
This song poses some questions. Who are the heroes of today? Are they doing anything to better this world? The public at large seems to have a shorter and shorter memory, one that can be coned again and again. Why do we go along with this?

Lyrics
Thieves of Memory
Words by Caleb Stull
This clock?s got a hold of us!
Yeah ? ha!
This clock?s got a hold of us
Yeah ?ha!
Let me lighten the weight you?re lifting
This fear?s got a hold of us.
Yeah-ha
This fear?s got a hold of us.
Yeah-ha
Let me lighten the weight you?re believing
Now Who (x3)
Are your heroes?
Now Who (x3)
Will save you?
This past has got a hold of us!
Yeah-ha
This past ahs got a hold of us!
Yeah-ha
Don?t leave history to the thieves of memory!
Yeah, Death has got a hold of us!
Yeah-ha
Death has got a hold of us!
Yeah-ha
Feel lucky to have loved so deeply!
