Sooner or Later
Lord of the Lost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sooner or later I'll be a traitor
Sooner or later I will betray
But even a traitor sooner or later
Is learning that love is finding a way

Sooner or later I'll be a hater
Sooner or later I'm killing again
But all of my failures sooner or later
Will be the remorse of a dying man

The core is cracking in two
Two halves, one for me, one for you
But even with a broken heart
I still believe in love
The thorn is braced in the deep
The anguish is making me creep
But even with an open scar
I still believe in love

Sooner or later I will be greater
Than all of the fears in
Our cold broken hearts




I heal the hater and sooner or later
I'm closing the scars and I believe in
