Battlefield of Lies
The Relapse Symphony Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I kept choosing shadows down the halls
Just trying to find myself
And I've been living lies to pass the time
turned into something else, unbreakable

I won't let go of the hopes I've carried
They'll stay unknown; hopeless and buried
Hold your head up high, on this battlefield of lies
I'm singing; I won't let go, this is the only way I know

I've been stealing fire every down just trying to light the way
And I've been hiding bombs in every song, the secrets my escape
Trading all my days for one more fight
Sweat and blood, I'll make tonight unforgettable

I won't let go of the hopes I've carried
They'll stay unknown; hopeless and buried
Hold your head up high, on this battlefield of lies
I'm singing; I won't let go, this is the only way I know
The only way I know


End
