Drift
RZA (feat. Blake Perlman) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Two hearts, two souls, one mind
One love of humankind
In heaven′s name
No time for fear or blame
Inside we are the same
We feel it all
We feel the rise before the fall
We feel it all, we feel it
We feel it all
The rise and fall
We drift inside of each other
All we have is one another
United we can never fall
We feel it all
We feel the rise before the fall
No dividing us
We feel it all, we feel it all
We feel it all
We feel the rise before the fall
No dividing us
We feel it all, we feel it all
Three scientists, minds, militaries combined
To form the greatest weapons to defend mankind
From the bottomless pit is the apocalypse
Egypt, Okinawa they threaten to topple us
Nations of man must stand this terror
Two hearts drift apart, they come together
So far as we are joined, they can not be severed
Brother, creed or colour, we all need each other
To look beyond these borders to see each other
The fate of the world is upon our shoulders
A soldier tells his father goodbye
You see the proudness, the dream of hope appears in his eye
No-one knows for whom the bell tolls
A strong mighty body, hundred tons of steel
Kaiju, facing an enemy that stands before us
We feel it all, they tried to destroy us
We feel it all
We feel the rise before the fall
No dividing us
We feel it all
We feel it all
We feel it all
We feel the rise before the fall
No dividing us
We feel it all
We feel it all
We drift inside each other
All we have is one another
United we can never fall.
