The Battle
Aperco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Analyze my child come back to me
Never mind the fault that you've been accused
You're not alone try to recall
The past is gone, can't be undone

I'm good and I'm caring
With love and with grace
Strength beyond knowledge
Think and retrace

I'm good and I'm caring
With love and with grace
Strength beyond knowledge
Think and retrace

Wake into a dream
Reality supreme
Here it goes again
You feel the fame, ignore the pain
Thrown into the flame
You're all the same

It's time to take what's mine tonight
And I will prove that I was right
I tried to please you all
But now you need to understand
That I am on my own
I hold the throne

I wonder what you try to gain
Forever traces will remain
You never meant to cause
The story of your rise and fall




You thing you won the war
You lost control
