If You Only Knew
Ready the pawns and <br/> Prepare them for war<br/> See how they crawl<br/> Hungry they'll conquer it all<br/> When will it end, <br/> When will they bend<br/> When will this monster be fed<br/> <br/> Why are we here?<br/> It's all so unclear<br/> <br/> Will we look back on this victory<br/> With glass coloured rose<br/> Will this honour turn to infamy<br/> Stained by the blood of our foes<br/> <br/> Now that its over the screams never fade<br/> What have we done?<br/> Peace at the end of a gun<br/> Heroes in red<br/> Silence the dead<br/> Thousands were burned in their beds<br/> <br/> Why are we here?<br/> It's all so unclear<br/> <br/> Will we look back on this victory<br/> With glass coloured rose<br/> Will this honour turn to infamy<br/> Stained by the blood of our foes

See the storm<br/> Tear down my walls, <br/> Now I feel so empty,<br/> Blackened hearts begin to break<br/> Crumble and fade away<br/> Just how far, <br/> Have I gone<br/> Is this where the story's ending <br/> Shattered mass of broken sails<br/> Leaves me lost,<br/> Leaves me stranded,<br/> <br/> On an Island in my head, <br/> I sit upon the shore, <br/> The tide is rising,<br/> Will it fall<br/> <br/> The only way,<br/> The only way is down<br/> Follow me into the shadows<br/> Another day<br/> Another chance to drown<br/> Let me be the one to take you down<br/> <br/> Feel the Rain<br/> Stings me again<br/> The wind is always screaming<br/> See the lightning crack against the sky<br/> Send a note <br/> In a bottle<br/> Know I'll get no answer<br/> See the memories flash before my eyes<br/> <br/> The only way,<br/> The only way is down<br/> Follow me into the shadows<br/> Another day<br/> Another chance to drown<br/> Let me be the one to take you down
