Protomen, The - Unrest In The House Of Light lyrics

rate me

You have heard me tell this story

Many times before you sleep.

This time listen carefully.

And I will tell you once again

But this time understand that what I'm telling you.

Every single word is true.

You need to know.

There was another who came before you,

He was a hero and your brother and my son.

He fought the darkness, the darkness won.

And he fought bravely, and he died bravely

But he was forsaken by the ones he wished to save.

And when he died he died in vain.

You need to know.

You are not him.

That time is coming, and I must warn you

That though it's something that you may not understand

They can be saved by just one man.

And I am sorry, cause I was wrong

And I'd take away the weight his shoulders had to bear.

Cause when he fell I was the only one who cared.

You need to know.

You are not him.

This fight's not yours.

That story's finished. That story's ended.

Understand there's no more that we can do.

And I will not risk losing you.

For if you leave now, you will be fighting

for a people that refuse to comprehend

They have chosen their own end.

So you will stay here. You will obey me.

And I will keep grieving for the son I sent to death.

You are the only thing I have left.

You need to know.

You are not him.

This fight's not yours.

You cannot win!
