light this city – city of the snares lyrics
follow me to solace and safety
over the tar-blackened river and past the gleaming yellow eyes
i hope i’m right this time
i can’t lose any more of you tonight
they’re trusting me to lead them
but they don’t know
i’m just running from my fear
are they catching on yet
let’s change our course
i’m putting all that i’ve got into my last resort
can i count on you to make it work
peril and risk prowling around every corner
sudden death rushing at us from behind the clouds
danger and threat stalking weary stragglers
keeping us on the very tips of our toenails
the enemy has been on our scent for days
only miles away from revenge they crave
there has got to be a way
to cover our tracks
or what happens when we stop running
i can’t be too panicked to protect
tell me, when we opened your eyes
did we kill you or save your life
i thought we’d never break away
from the city of the snares
always fighting to forget
choking out their memories
i was almost intimidated by their sleek exteriors
but the truth’s they were baited with the best
they claimed they had no choices left
what value does gilded useless armor have
when 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 cowards
like every one of them
so why am i still plagued
with apprehension
hopelessness
guilt and shame
in spite of myself
i wonder regretfully
when we opened your eyes
did we save your life
how the h-ll did any of us survive
peril and risk dominating the night
sudden death rushing at us from behind the clouds
danger and threat stalking weary stragglers
keeping us on the very tips of our toenails
when the casualties outweigh survivors
is that when i’ll know i’ve been defeated
while the p-ssive deny, we act on acceptance
did we save you or did we kill you
the dread and turmoil now behind us
an uncertain leader
we’re just fortunate
to have gotten through it all
we’re chasing utopia at the top of the world
i can see it now—home
we’re almost there
