City of the Snares |
| 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 |
