Common - The Ladder Lyrics
The realm, do you know what the realm is?It's the thousand blades of Aegon's enemiesA story we agreed to tell each other over and overTill we forget that it's a lieBut what do we have left once we abandon the lie?Chaos, a gaping pit waiting to swallow us allChaos isn't a pit, chaos is a ladderThe rain came upon us, we played the cornersLike Richard Sherman the best, I'm still learningScriptures turn to pages, pictures burn in ragesOutrageous, the big world, the stage is setThreats coming from different agesDEATH IS AGELESS, life is dangerousChange is the only thing guaranteedI ain't afraid of the ops รข€˜cause I know they bleed just like usIn the Seven Kingdoms ain't nobody righteousA massacre at the Red Wedding, THE LIFELESSLaid on the ground, now who wears the crown?A rope tied around by the power we boundSound the trumpets, I got soldiers by the hundredsWe all want it with our EYES ON THE SUMMINGChaos is a ladder and some fall from itSome get tall from it, high like they all bluntedBut this the year that we doing it with no fearsGod in both ears saying, "be sincere"Some are laughing, some of 'em be in tearsIf this the end LET THE GAMES BEGIN HEREI think about it when I'm in my zoneMy life is like a game of thronesI sit and think when I'm in my zoneThis life is like a game of thronesI think about it when I'm in my zoneThis life is like a game of thronesI sit and think when I'm in my zoneThis life is like a game of thronesChaos is a ladderMany of you trying to climb it, failNever get to try againThe all breaks themAnd some are given a chance to climb but they refuseThey cling to the realm or the gods or loveIllusions! Only the ladder is realThe climb is all there is
