Before my body is dry
Hiroyuki Sawano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the dusty bassment where we met
May you surprised me so much
Because you're talking now
I gotta find the truth from many fights
But I'm all alone
You're the only one who can help me out
We'll be as one
We're ready to fight
Look over there
They try to kill us for stars
Our bond has got much stronger than before
Don't lose your way in your mind
We have to be as one
Don't be afraid my sweet heart
This is the way to be more strong
Harbor my deep secret
It makes me so blue
Run through this game before my body is dry
So it seems there's No other choice
But to go all out
Stay with me and let's stand out
and out shine those trying to get our stars now
All we have to do is figure out how strong we are
and what it takes to stay dive
Sync and learn what we can do to take 'em down
It's revenge and survive
For now, we know in part
And You can feel my heart
So help me to stay focused so I don't fall apart
I wanna be complete
It's not in me to retreat
I could lose on my own so I really need you with me
I gotta find out who killed my dad
I hear the voice of you in my mind
I gotta find out who killed my dad
I hear the voice of you in my mind so
My blood is pumping
I'm ready to fight when you are
Let's let no one break the bond that is ours
Show them what it means to be a shining star
You have my body
Let's fight as one
Can't move my feet in the dark
I don't wanna be all alone
Can't feel the heat in my blood
Do you remember what he said
Don't lose your way in your mind
(I really need you with me)
We have to be as one
(Help me to stay focused)
Don't be afraid my sweet heart
(I wanna be complete)
This is the way to be more strong
(Fight as one with me)
Harbor my deep secret
It makes me so blue
(Let's take 'em down)
(Be a shining star)
Run through this game before my body is dry




(You have my body)
(I'm ready to fight when you are)
