Reborn
Pride and Fall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like shattered glass the hate cuts deep
Like the anger you build you cannot sleep
The Alliance within all worn and thin
Filled with hatred you cannot win

Turning crane those fragile necks
Spread those darkened wings
Let those bodies burn
and empty in our hearts
I will take my place
Impure thoughts but hands still clean




All sorrows washed away
Turned to dust
