[LAW] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
death is a word I know, a word you fear to hear from me
real are the things that are, the things that were, but what will be
deal - I will show you all, heed over, give your sins to me
free - now I got your hands, you磖e mine my dear
time - get your aims or be what you were here
feel all that mud outside, turn 磖ound and walk away with me
all I want from you is just your soul
all the lies beyond their smiles, just take my face and then you磍l see
I won磘 give you dreams you wake up from - taste my reality
and I started to believe, that you want me to retreat
forget that world outside, we better leave
now it磗 time to make your choice, get up and choose eternity
feel your wish it磗 deep inside - bend over and survive with me
