You Can't Kill a Dead Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The tide is setting in, these eyes are growing weary
The time is wearing thin, these thoughts have never looked as real
There's got to be a better way
Its time to set this in flames, torch it and walk away from our mistakes
Just say a prayer and walk away
And now the fights underway, lines crossed allies erased from our memories
Just say a prayer and walk away
Don't you even begin to, say you know exactly what we need
You never know, you never know what we need
You never knew me
This time you've made your worst mistake, getting worst with each breath you take
This time there needs to be a price to pay
As the cannons fire and our swords are placed into the hearts of the unseen
Lets set these captives free
And its time to see what were fighting for, some how I knew that there'd be more
And its time to see what were dieing for, so much more so much more
And its time to see what were living for, some how I knew that there'd be more
And its time to see what were dieing for, so much more so much more
This cant be it there must be more, so much more so much more in store
How could this be the end, this cant be happing why is this happing
Yeah the streets are on fire, and these walls are coming down
I never thought I see this place so dead
I never thought I see what's in front of me
I never thought I see this place so dead
And its time to see what were fighting for, some how I knew that there'd be more
And its time to see what were dieing for, so much more so much more
And its time to see what were living for, some how I knew that there'd be more
And its time to see what were dieing for, so much more so much more
