Window
Bonefield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
we were happy in our castle of lies
protected by soldiers and walls
safe from the masses and the trash we ruled
but I can hear the whistle in the wind
looking by the window I can see
footsteps are getting louder in the streets
the ground is shaking under my feets
I hope it's not too late to say how sorry I am
oh I can feel the rope arround my neck
looking by the window I can see
the raging crowd comming for you and me
hear the whistle of revenge my dear
we are the ones to die in pain and fear
the gates have fallen, there's nowhere to run
I can hear the blades behind the door
I'll face my fate but please have mercy
please have mercy on my family.
looking by the window I can see
the raging crowd comming for you and me
hear the whistle of revenge my dear
we are the ones to die in pain and fear
