Enter The Dragon
Afterlife Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So many years have passed
am I'm still screaming for the same
no matter if your are all gone
I am still here
You were the ones who said:
"I've seen so many come and go"
but now I'm just wondering where are you now
Now it's time to put the faith back in Straight Edge
I've worked so hard during all this time
just to throw it all away
Now it's time to put the faith back in ourselves
This time I won't forget
No, this time I won't forgive
Don't call yourself a part of this anymore




"Where are they now" the ones who preached something
they didn't believe in

@jonixedge

A mi me suena mas a Insted y encima hacen voice your opinion

@vdevendidos8943

@@jonixedge De verdad que sí. Lo había pensado. Suena a Insted, pero con toques más melódicos y cambio de notas a una cuerda a la guitarra; Insted en cambio a mí me suena más crudo y con riffs sólo marcando acordes.
