Open Arms To The Future
Heaven Shall Burn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A connection diminished
An increasing power
And become a stranger
Protected by my outside
Continue this way of gathering
Harmony slowly guides me
To cross all illusions
As I try to get out
The future won't get to them

As I try to get out
Attempting to escape a negative or harmful situation
The future won't get to them
They will not benefit from the potential and promise of tomorrow
