Chained Hysteria
LA SCALTRA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

And they say
Love will heal everyone
And they say
Time will heal everyone
And they say
Love's a killer on the run
And they say
Time will kill everyone

In chained hysteria
We claim mysteria
In chained hysteria

And we pray
Love might heal everyone
And we pray
Time might heal everyone
And we pray
For another day to come
And we pray
We pray, we pray

In chained hysteria
We claim mysteria
In chained hysteria
Say, say, say!

The stars are falling down
Down to the ground
The sun is settling down
We pray
Pray, pray, pray!

And they say
Love will heal everyone
And they say
Time will kill everyone

In chained hysteria
We claim mysteria




In chained hysteria
We claim mysteria
