| 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 |
