作曲 : Light This City, Nichol | |
Follow me to solace and safety | |
Over the tar-blackened river and past the gleaming yellow eyes | |
I hope I'm right this time | |
I can't lose any more of you tonight | |
They're trusting me to lead them | |
But they don't know | |
I'm just running from my fear | |
Are they catching on yet | |
Let's change our course | |
I'm putting all that I've got into my last resort | |
Can I count on you to make it work | |
Peril and risk prowling around every corner | |
Sudden death rushing at us from behind the clouds | |
Danger and threat stalking weary stragglers | |
Keeping us on the very tips of our toenails | |
The enemy has been on our scent for days | |
Only miles away from revenge they crave | |
There has got to be a way | |
To cover our tracks | |
Or what happens when we stop running | |
I can't be too panicked to protect | |
Tell me, when we opened your eyes | |
Did we kill you or save your life | |
I thought we'd never break away | |
From the city of the snares | |
Always fighting to forget | |
Choking out their memories | |
I was almost intimidated by their sleek exteriors | |
But the truth's they were baited with the best | |
They claimed they had no choices left | |
What value does gilded useless armor have | |
When you finally need to fight | |
Stop with this show | |
And repeat the pathetic blind surrender | |
We may be outnumbered | |
We're not oblivious | |
We are not cowards | |
Like every one of them | |
So why am I still plagued | |
With apprehension | |
Hopelessness | |
Guilt and shame | |
In spite of myself | |
I wonder regretfully | |
When we opened your eyes | |
Did we save your life | |
How the hell did any of us survive | |
Peril and risk dominating the night | |
Sudden death rushing at us from behind the clouds | |
Danger and threat stalking weary stragglers | |
Keeping us on the very tips of our toenails | |
When the casualties outweigh survivors | |
Is that when I'll know I've been defeated | |
While the passive deny, we act on acceptance | |
Did we save you or did we kill you | |
The dread and turmoil now behind us | |
An uncertain leader | |
We're just fortunate | |
To have gotten through it all | |
We're chasing utopia at the top of the world | |
I can see it now—home | |
We're almost there |
