Paradigm
Forevermore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Clouds of indifference have filled the dark sky that is your mind
It's time to man up and decide
It's nothing less than do or die
We've won!
We've won!
The demons and devils alike - they fix their eyes with malicious intent
They smile, they jest, and they laugh at your sight
This is truly pathetic - and you call yourself a man?
And now this emptiness is all I know
Seeking out what's in sight, though I'm alone
Pleading with my own signs - now find the source of this noxious apathy; this thorn inside of me
Help me find a way out

Solace comes at the worst of times
My spirits lifted, I can hear the battle cry
This war - it rages on, indecisiveness ignored
So follow me - we'll crush the adversary, and finally live in peace

So as you sit there up on your fence, countless lives below - they are lost
Their blood is on your hands
We've won!
We've won!




The demons and devils alike - they fix their eyes with malicious intent
Don't let this be your demise
