The Li(f)e We Lead Songtext
von Amken

Confined, chained in a cavern since birth
Forced to watch
Only shadows flitting across the stone wall
Coming alive, burning on

Behind
Giving off a dying light

Darkness, isolation
The only path we ever saw
Our comfort zone
Living in our fake image of the world
We′ll never know (never know) what lies beyond
Never doubt those that came along

Granted as the truth
In our fragile minds

Choose your illusion, the lie you're going to lead
The lie you′re going to lead


And if one day you wake up - one day you will wake up
Being cast out from the cave - cast out from the cave
Eyes need time to adapt - eyes need time to adapt
To the truth that comes with the sun

By now you should know, our ignorant nature
Choose your illusion, the lie we lead

Confined, chained in a cavern since birth
Forced to exist, restrained where we are left to be

Where we are left to be
We are left to be
We are left to be
We are left to be

Numbing our way through this life, a habit we can't hide
Becoming harder each day to leave the past behind

And damned you'll be to make your way back to the depths of the cave

And nothing is what it seems when you go down the road
The sirens will call your name and leave you ripped and torn

Cause ignorant men hate it when someone points to the sun
Points to the sun

When someone points to the sun

The lie you′re going to lead
