The Promise of Deceit
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.
Evening
Coming through the crowd
I hold my head high
Straining
Out here dissonance surrounds
I hold my head high
I see the wings behind your back
Burned all the maps to reach you
Watching distant lands
I saw danger
And then I felt the pressure
Downfall
This is our time
The setting Sun over all I ever had
So when did you come to think
That you would tell me that I have no one
And when do you think that you
Will give back the things that you owe me
Burned all the maps to reach you
Watching distant lands
I saw danger
And then I felt the pressure
So when did you come to think
That you would tell me that I have no one
And when do you think that you
Will give back the things that you owe me
