A Spar too Late
MyChildren MyBride Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Murder murder!
Did you read the headlines
There was a death
Just over there, on the top of that hillside
A new beggining, in three days time

Whats worth living for
But whats worth dying for
Just run away and end it all

I know a better way than all of this

End it all or stand and fight

You are my motivation,
You are my inspiration




Thank you for all your spite
You're the reason I still fight
