Lyrics[]
In a time of need, only few can see what's wrong
Millions tend to crawl, but only those who choose can make it through it all
Only few can sing like lions 'cause we're singing till we're gone
And we've only got each's backs until we're back where we belong
A woman held my shield and through the battle we did wrong
A man who taught me wisdom through the static we recall
And maybe when we're gone, our names will echo through the stars
Every star's got its ending even when we've learned to rise above it all
These lies are leading me astray
It's too much for me to stay
I don't wanna live this destiny
It goes on endlessly
I see you, so please stay strong
I'll sing you once last song and then I'm gone
I don't wanna live this destiny
It goes on endlessly
And once we also had a story, too
You can see that good men only come in few
Even in our greatest moments, we may win or we may lose
Every song's got its rules, you've got to learn to make it through
Maybe one day we can choose how it feels to be a woman or a man
Without rules, but buried underneath, there's a picture glued
So when my body burns in ashes, only sing the truth ,br/>
Let these words strengthen all your views
Because these words were meant for you
These lies are leading me astray
It's too much for me to stay
I don't wanna live this destiny
It goes on endlessly
I see you, so please stay strong
I'll sing you once last song and then I'm gone
I don't wanna live this destiny
It goes on endlessly
And I'm floating right above my coffin as it closes
I look down and I see Sai as she's crying on my mama's shoulder
I look up into the sky as the gates of heaven open
Something's wrong, is this destiny or am I going home?
What will happen to my soul? Will I come back? I don't know
Will you meet me when it's over? And you know
You can meet me here in heaven, don't you ever let me go
(This love, this hate is burning me away)
These lies are leading me astray
It's too much for me to stay
I don't wanna live this destiny
It goes on endlessly
I see you, so please stay strong
I'll sing you once last song and then I'm gone
I don't wanna live this destiny
It goes on endlessly
These lies are leading me astray
It's too much for me to stay
I don't wanna live this destiny
It goes on endlessly
I see you, so please stay strong
I'll sing you once last song and then I'm gone
I don't wanna live this destiny
It goes on endlessly
(This love, this hate is burning me away)
(This love, this hate is burning me away)
