Lyrics
Hounds
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.
I don't want to know, I shut it down
That's my freedom, as long as you're around
All that I once held as true
Always brings me back to you
You may think I should have known
No one here but not alone
Darkness feeds upon my soul
From grief I'll rise
From grief I stole
When I have a moment of pure delight
As if I am pulling the wrong to right
I can take this for granted but I'm way too old
In search for the answers, the trail went cold
While I'm alive, I won't let them near us
I stand by your side
Feeding the hounds of existence
The hounds of existence
Nothing is hollow, it's lack of light
We live among time thieves in a scarlet night
While I'm alive, I won't let them near us
I stand by your side
Feeding the hounds of existence
The hounds of existence
While I'm alive, I won't let them near us
I stand by your side
Feeding the hounds of existence
The hounds of existence
While I'm alive, I won't let them near
While I'm alive, feeding the hounds that are hidden
Between the restrained and forbidden
We hold on to all that is pure
When everything's here but a cure
Everything's here but stay hidden
Between the restrained and forbidden
We hold on to all that is pure
When everything's here but a cure
Everything's here but a cure
Swim in cold waters
Sink like a stone
Swim in cold waters
Carry on
At the end of the world
We'll find a shore
We'll find a shore
While I'm alive, I won't let them near us
I stand by your side
Feeding the hounds of existence
The hounds of existence
Hidden
Forbidden
All that is pure
Pure
Hidden
Between the restrained and forbidden
We hold on to all that is pure
When everything's here but a cure
Everything's here but a
Cure
