Light This City - City Of The Snares Lyrics
Follow me to solace and safetyOver the tar-blackened river and past the gleaming yellow eyesI hope I'm right this timeI can't lose any more of you tonightThey're trusting me to lead them, but they don't knowI'm just running from my fearAre they catching on yet?Let's change our courseI'm putting all that I've got into my last resortCan I count on you to make it work?Peril and risk prowling around every cornerSudden death rushing at us from behind the cloudsDanger and threat stalking weary stragglersKeeping us on the very tips of our toenailsThe enemy has been on our scent for days, Only miles away from revenge they craveThere has got to be a wayTo cover our tracksOr what happens when we stop running?I can't be too panicked to protectTell me, when we opened your eyesDid we kill you or save your life?I thought we'd never break awayFrom the city of the snares, always fighting to forget, Choking out their memoriesI was almost intimidated by their sleek exteriorsBut the truth's they were baited with the bestThey claimed they had no choices leftWhat value does gilded, useless armour haveWhen 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 cowardsLike every one of themSo why am I still plaguedWith 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 nightSudden death rushing at us from behind the cloudsDanger and threat stalking weary stragglersKeeping us on the very tips of our toenailsWhen the casualties outweigh survivors, Is that when I'll know I've been defeated?While the passive deny, we act on acceptanceDid we save you or did we kill you?The dread and turmoil now behind usAn uncertain leader, we're just fortunateTo have gotten through it allWe're chasing utopia at the top of the worldI can see it now—home.We're almost there
