Swansong Songtext

Swansong Songtext
Open up
Show me what you got
Take pride in what you lost
Let go of what you ought to be
Brave enough to break your bones
Just to save your own
Capable of breaking the continuity
Cause since we′ve learnt how to strain a rope
Tyrants crucified our prophets
Turned them into martyrs
While we the bystanders just
Watched them suffer from the farthest Power is nothing but the triumph of allowance
Harmless cowards silenced by the right of might and violence
We missed out on every opportunity
So open up
Show me what you got
Take pride in what you lost
Let go of what you ought to be
And now that we missed every chance to turn this around
We might as well face our damnation
Come about for our mournful celebration
So much for salvation
So we end the soul search
And begin the deathwatch
Nowhere else to go but we
Overstayed our welcome
Exiled into the bleak
Join in on the swan song
Now we need your voice
On our days of fatigue
To leave this place as one
History has won
Let the end begin
Now bring it
Ten thousand generations
And we get to be the last one
I was always aware
Our fate will gain upon
Raise your glass for tomorrow
We're about to abandon
Bottoms up
Here′s to everyone
Here's to the years to come
That we were so sure we get to see
Here's to wars that torn apart the ties
Centuries of feuds and spite
Always frivolously boiling beneath
See them disappear to thin air
On our last symposium
Grab a boulder help me build
Our burning ruin utopia
Empty your bottles and perhaps
You find comfort in collapse
Ten thousand generations
And we get to be the last one
I was always aware
Our fate will gain upon
Raise your glass for tomorrow
We′re about to abandon
I was hoping for this moment
We′ll dance till we whirl into one
Time to pay back the borrowed time
And return the stolen fire
I was always aware
Our fate will gain upon
Raise your glass for tomorrow
We're about to abandon
I was hoping for this moment
We′ll dance till we whirl into one
Time to pay back the borrowed time
And return the stolen fire
Show me what you got
Take pride in what you lost
Let go of what you ought to be
Brave enough to break your bones
Just to save your own
Capable of breaking the continuity
Cause since we′ve learnt how to strain a rope
Tyrants crucified our prophets
Turned them into martyrs
While we the bystanders just
Watched them suffer from the farthest Power is nothing but the triumph of allowance
Harmless cowards silenced by the right of might and violence
We missed out on every opportunity
So open up
Show me what you got
Take pride in what you lost
Let go of what you ought to be
And now that we missed every chance to turn this around
We might as well face our damnation
Come about for our mournful celebration
So much for salvation
So we end the soul search
And begin the deathwatch
Nowhere else to go but we
Overstayed our welcome
Exiled into the bleak
Join in on the swan song
Now we need your voice
On our days of fatigue
To leave this place as one

We′ll dance till we whirl into one
Time to pay back the borrowed time
And return the stolen fire
