Requiem
The Midnight Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know how hard it seems
I know where the blow hurts
Yeah, I know where it hurts
Don't you know we've been down this road before
Don't you know the sky won't leave you lonely
It cries
Don't you think it'll heal
Don't you know that I'm liar
With a pain in my shoe
Don't you know we've been down this road before
Don't you know the sky won't leave you lonely
It cries
Don't you know the clouds won't break
You could start with no hate
I've seen a coward and I've seen a king
Sometimes they can be both things
