BRAVE THE OCEAN
澤野弘之 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you wait? I'll go and see what I can do
I know why I know what she's been going through

And when you look up to the skies
In most worlds you think of peace like before

To break these chains
We must all rise from feelings of hate
And it's blood, sweat, tears
But no revenge should govern our fate
That time I first realized I cared for you so
The city below a dance in the dark
I must end this now, it's perfectly clear

Before it begins, the war we all fear

We can wait I wanna see what I can do
It's too late to hope that I make it through
And when you see the light below
I know exactly where to go back to her

To break these chains
We must all rise from feelings of hate
And it's blood, sweat, tears
But no revenge should govern our fate
That time I first realized I cared for you so
The city below a dance in the dark
I must end this now, it's perfectly clear
Before it begins the war we all fear

To break these chains
We must all rise from feelings of hate
And it's blood, sweat, tears
But no revenge should govern our fate
That time I first realized I cared for you so
The city below a dance in the dark




I must end this now, it's perfectly clear
Before it begins the war we all fear
