Amplexus - We Killed Like Champions lyrics

rate me

Paint the acropolis<br />

Trash your treasures<br />

A graffiti mess rising crisis<br />

The ground is aching to collapse<br />

If we stay here we just will not survive<br />

It's panic time<br />

Be our white-winged dove<br />

Bring back an olive branch of dry land<br />

<br />

The World aching to collapse<br />

Though the plan is improbably clear<br />

And so are the people attached<br />

The outcome's concealed<br />

Hope is short it's part of our craft<br />

And we stand for the hope of all those who look towards the sky<br />

<br />

We're pensive.<br />

"We're never going to make it there.<br />

You're insane to think again that we would"<br />

"I'm not insane. talking makes it feel better.<br />

Gives you something more to hope for "right?"<br />

<br />

The ground aching to collapse<br />

Though the plan is improbably clear<br />

And so are the people attached<br />

The outcome's concealed<br />

Hope is short it's part of our craft<br />

And we stand for the hope of all those who look towards the sky<br />

"We've finally arrived... we just might survive"<br />

"But though we may live our past will die with no choice... <br />

But extinction will be their fates"<br />

<br />

Stand up and build a world that mirrors your own<br />

Stand up it's not your fault you must carry on<br />

<br />

"Strive to find a way to thrive"<br />

"We aren't alone. We are not alone"<br />

<br />

The world is aching to collapse and with the people still attached<br />

Our hope is short it's part of our craft<br />

Go through the motions just to last<br />

Sober up on failure. it's real.<br />

Capture this moment. recover. make amends<br />

<br />

"And now that I know it's the road we must take, <br />

It's all come so clear the war I must wage"<br />

"Remember this day for it is yours for all time.<br />

Stand and face the morn"<br />

"Cause minutes and moments will all turn to years, <br />

And loved ones we've lost; a world of my fears"<br />

"Remember this day for it is yours for all time.<br />

Stand and face the night"<br />

"Can't be afraid that this moment is here.<br />

Been silent so long. we'll rise or we'll fall"<br />

Remember this day it is yours for all time.<br />

<br />

Sober up on failure. it's real.<br />

Capture this moment. recover. make amends
