Will You Follow
Allen-Lande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm too weak to fight
I'm too tired to argue
I only have one wish and to make it come true
Will you hear what I have to say?
Will you listen to me?
Come on, take the chance and see what could be..
[Bridge:]
The time has come for me to leave
Leave this place of sins behind
I will travel to a land without sorrow
I won't wait for you no more
The journey starts right now
Come on, take my hand, and I will show you
[Chorus:]
Will you follow me to death
Till your last breathe?
And follow me to a world without madness
Can you leave the past behind
For something never we will find?
Will you follow me to a place without sadness?
I know we're lost now
But I have a way how
You can go but you must leave without any doubt
Just follow my voice
I'm not far away
Reach out your hand and you will not remain
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Bridge]
[Chorus x2]
