The Whip Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Follow the sirens, the chain of the actions
Didn't know what to look out for
Many year, feelings we carried
Why did always you set the score?

You have put your fingerprints on me
Sirens ringing, calling destiny
I heard sirens, I heard sirens
I heard sirens, I heard sirens

Didn't come easy, the truths they were hidden
Cast for all rewards that you worked for
Drawn to the beacon, X marks destination
Entered before the sirens stopped

You have put your fingerprints on me
Sirens ringing, calling destiny
I heard sirens, I heard sirens
I heard sirens, I heard sirens

You know the only truth I know
You know the only truth I know
You know the only truth I know
Is in the palm of my hands

I heard sirens, I heard sirens
I heard sirens, I heard sirens
I heard sirens, I heard sirens
Sounds of love, sounds of love

You know the only truth I know
You know the only truth I know
You know the only truth I know
Is in the palm of my hands

You know the only truth I know
You know the only truth I know




You know the only truth I know
Is in the palm of my hands
