Lyrics
The Enemy
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.
Why can't you say sorrow?
Why can't you say I think I believe?
Thou must not steal borrow
Why must you steal things I receive?
Why can't you say sorrow?
Why can't you say I think I believe?
Why must you steal borrow?
Always conceal cling to belief
Damaged this way hollowed
Living the lie that you can't take
Damaged maintained solemn
Living for rules you only break
How can you say?
The enemy is thrown into the sadness
For the enemy there's only pain and sadness then death
How can you say sorrow?
The enemy is thrown into the sadness
For the enemy there's only pain and sadness then death
