Diamond Days
Lonely The Brave Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We'd better take a walk down Misery Lane
Cause the last thing forward was the last thing said
And the calm in the lake is making me stare
And I will wait for those diamond days
There's the hole in the night we see out there
Some kind of calm, so we don't care

So we did go down the spiral stairs
And we did keep this last one saved

For those diamond days
Diamond days
For those diamond days
Diamond days

We did go down the spiral stairs
And we did keep this last one saved
Oh, we did go down the spiral stairs
And we did keep this last one saved

For those diamond days
Diamond days
For those diamond days
Diamond days

Here truth is found
Down on its knees
We're the war inside
We're the last one in
Here truth is found
Under the stream
We're the spiral stairs
We're the last one in
Here truth is found
Down on its knees
We're the war inside
We're the last one in
Here truth is found
Under the stream




We're the spiral stairs
We're the last one in
