Swansong Lyrics

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
