Strife
(Deathcore/Melodic Death Metal/Metalcore) | (Allegiance) As Blood Runs Black Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The risk of failure's what makes life worth living
A chance is given for more
Doors can shut to make new beginnings
Another chance to explore
Explore!
Strive for more!
Would you carry out what you walked through?
Would you carry out and make fuckin' move?
A blane life you live, walking on what you made
Took shit for granted, and threw it all away
Then along came 1, then 1 and 3,
Then 1 more a set to see, a set to see
You tried to push us away, you pushed it away, you pushed it all away, pushed us away!
The risk of failure's what makes life worth living,
A chance is given for more
Doors can shut to make new beginnings,
And I'm not depressed from it
It's just you fuckin' testament!
We tried over and over again, to pull you through,
Now we're at the very end but where are you
Another band, a fallen dream, another outcast,
Another 1 to a band, a fallen dream, a fuckin' outcast!
Now that your gone we carry out this torche,
The one you threw away with no remorse.
No fuel to light the fire, but we're still going strong!





GOING STRONG!
GOING STRONG!
