Drown
Corroded Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Break the spells, that binds us here,
To each his own, no more to fear.
Go and do, as you please,
What must be done, to part with ease.

It must be done my way.
It must be done your way.
The complications starts now,
We are what we are or else we drown.
We neither yield nor bow,
It is so heavy this gilded crown.

One step back will lead astray,
To find our path, our own true way.
When left is right and right is wrong,
To run not walk you must be strong.

It must be done our way.
It must be done anyway.

The complications starts now,
We are what we are or else we drown.
We neither yield nor bow,
It is so heavy this god damn crown.

The chain that broke, that bound us here,
Has left it's mark, that won't disappear.
A rearview look to see the shame,
It matters not it's all the same.






This is the only way.....
