The Reason Why

Song The Reason Why
Artist Gary Hughes
Album Once and Future King Part I

Lyrics

In this world we are more or less
entwined in a race
Losing ground, it's a brittle mess,
designed to decay,
We never dream to think of others,
Lie in the face of truth
We're ensnared in the ties of love
then bound by a ring
Spring is short as the cries above,
resound, deafening
But 'silence' greets the brink of summer,
"Why?" meets the winter's chill
Show me the reason why we put
chains on our lovers
How can we justify this king of control?
Show me the reason why we enslave
one another
We swear to keep our promises, in
time we renege,
And though we sleep in the dragon's
lair, we're blind to the flames
We're callous, disrespect our brothers,
Fight in an age of fools
Show me the reason why we put
chains on our lovers
How can we justify this king of control?
Show me the reason why we enslave
one another
