Lyrics
The Life They Promised
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.
Closed eyes to outside's deception
Fighting for a way to see, this is not what we envisioned
Things are never what they seem
Will we ever find a way to end this?
(Be)cause I'm afraid that it's all a lie
We'll keep searching for the life they promised
Your hand in mine
Caught in a chain reaction
If we go, what will we find?
Blinded by all these distractions
How could we make it out alive?
This passion building inside me, our hollow hearts denied
We're all left starving for answers
The only thing that we know is this weight that we hold
We won't stand, we won't stand down
While everything that we have is just slipping away
We won't stand, we won't stand down
While everything that we have is just slipping away
And with this road we take will be able to see the best in everything?
It's all we need
If we believe, we can change anything
Will we ever find a way to end this?
(Be)cause I'm afraid that it's all a lie
We'll keep searching for the life they promised
Your hand in mine
No one left can save us, as locusts block the sun
The earth shatters and tides run red
With blood!
