Lyrics
Effigy
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.
If they came and took away
Everything you are today
Could you find another way
All my feelings undermined
Urged to follow strict design
And I won't cross that line
Just an effigy
What I used to be
And everything that seemed real
Was just a dream
Will you side with faith or fear?
Try to save all that's dear
They might scream, but I can't hear
I've got my own cross to bare
I've still got reason to care
And in the end, I'm no worse for wear
Just an effigy
What I used to be
And everything that seems real
Is just a dream
Will you side with faith or fear?
Try to save all that's dear
Will you side with faith or fear?
Try to save all that is dear
Just an effigy
What I used to be
And everything that seems real
Is just a dream
