Follow me to solace and safety
|
Over the tar-blackened river and past the gleaming yellow eyes
|
I hope I'm right this time
|
I can't lose any more of you tonight
|
They're trusting me to lead them, but they don't know
|
I'm just running from my fear
|
Are they catching on yet?
|
Let's change our course
|
I'm putting all that I've got into my last resort
|
|
Can I count on you to make it work?
|
Peril and risk prowling around every corner
|
Sudden death rushing at us from behind the clouds
|
Danger and threat stalking weary stragglers
|
Keeping us on the very tips of our toenails
|
|
The enemy has been on our scent for days,
|
Only miles away from revenge they crave
|
There has got to be a way
|
To cover our tracks
|
Or what happens when we stop running?
|
I can't be too panicked to protect
|
Tell me, when we opened your eyes
|
Did we kill you or save your life?
|
I thought we'd never break away
|
From the city of the snares, always fighting to forget,
|
Choking out their memories
|
I was almost intimidated by their sleek exteriors
|
But the truth's they were baited with the best
|
They claimed they had no choices left
|
What value does gilded, useless armour have
|
|
When you finally need to fight?
|
Stop with this show,
|
And repeat the pathetic blind surrender.
|
We may be outnumbered;
|
We're not oblivious, we are not cowards
|
Like every one of them
|
So why am I still plagued
|
With apprehension, hopelessness, guilt and shame?
|
In spite of myself, I wonder Regretfully,
|
When we opened your eyes,
|
Did we save your life?
|
How the hell did any of us survive?
|
Peril and risk dominating the night
|
Sudden death rushing at us from behind the clouds
|
Danger and threat stalking weary stragglers
|
Keeping us on the very tips of our toenails
|
|
When the casualties outweigh survivors,
|
Is that when I'll know I've been defeated?
|
While the passive deny, we act on acceptance
|
Did we save you or did we kill you?
|
|
The dread and turmoil now behind us
|
An uncertain leader, we're just fortunate
|
To have gotten through it all
|
We're chasing utopia at the top of the world
|
I can see it now?home.
|
We're almost there
|
