ZION
Gretchen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Zion is silent left to suffer violence
Only the violent are taking it by force

You say you want it - You see it there
But you were so afraid and unaware
You say you wanted a better life
So seize the moment!
Looking for someone that he can devour
Blood in their eyes but
They can not be moved at all

You say you want it - You see it there
But you were so afraid and unaware




You say you wanted a better life
So seize the moment!
