My Epic - And We Were So Close lyrics

rate me

Don't they see the sky burning and claiming every hope? <br />

Can't they feel the earth breaking and scattering the fold? <br />

This act surely is past the scope of clemency and any shroud of mystery. <br />

Lets return now; say the word and we'll retreat to better scenes. <br />

Coastlines and mountainsides, perfection dripping from the seams. <br />

How could miracles reveal the mysteries and end in tragedy? <br />

Don't let them boast. <br />

They'll claim the victory if you give up the ghost. <br />

I stand awaiting the call for the rescue. <br />

One word and empires fall. <br />

You're calculating the point for your next move, but this is taking too long. <br />

Has courage fled for newer brides, and traded truth for alibis, that I alone of dozen strong should witness your demise? <br />

Before your mothers eyes, <br />

Whisper "relief." <br />

I know you have the power! <br />

Is this the way it's supposed to be, the shepherd slain by all the sheep? <br />

They're cursing your name. <br />

You're fading away. <br />

When will the empire fall? <br />

They spit in your face. <br />

It's more than I can take. <br />

Is this the end of it all? <br />

Don't touch him; this man has done nothing wrong.
