Descent
Lawless Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Today, we will see the sun in flames
Total wast, washing on the wild way
Today, everything we thought will change
And this life will never be the same again

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And just let go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And just let go
We will rise together
We will rise together

Time is hanging by his final thread
And the skies are burning and bleeding now
Holding on to this beautiful pain
Teardrops follow diamonds in the rain
But today, together we rise

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And just let go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And just let go
We will rise together
We will rise together

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And just let go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And just let go




We will rise together (and just let go)
We will rise together
