End
Naked Empire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's locks on the door
A cold stony floor
The walls closing in
The air getting thin

Am I gonna die
The end is in sight
So get up off the floor
Stand up and fight

Fight for your life
Do it for you lover
Swear you'll see her again
And promise not to let this be the end

Gather your strength
Defy all their ranks
The guard's gone away
And you've got a gun

I run and I shoot
I dodge and elude
Love can not lose
I'm coming to you

Fight for your life
Do it for you lover




Swear you'll see her again
And promise not to let this be the end
