Silver Star
Hypnogaja Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Born into freedom, they remind me
To go and protect it blindly
All of your life is depending
On who and what you're defending

Move in for the kill, 'til they finally get their fill

Raised to believe all the hatred
While all of the innocence faded
Trust in yourself to follow
The lies just get harder to swallow

Move in for the kill, 'til they finally get their fill

Lay down your life
For what you are
Live the sacrifice
For a silver star

Die with the best of intentions
Led to the end by perception
All of our lives are depending
On who and what we're defending

Lay down your life
For what you are
Live the sacrifice
For a silver star

Lay down your life
You've come this far
Sacrifice, trade your life
For a silver star





For a silver star
