Flesh and Bones
Tulkas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now that i'm lonely just againts your power,
I'm the only one, who can beat your hunger for desire,
A beast of unreasonable hate,
Now i'm the owner of your fate.
Can't you see that you are just part of my game?
For me all you bastards are the same,
You can't destroy me with your foolish attempts,
I'm going to crush your bones and flesh.
Stand and fight, run no more, face your demons,
And don't dare to hide, if you die, die has a hero
Bleed if you must, don't look back, you are just flesh and bones.
Dead is all you'll find in your path for revolution,
Then kill me i ain't be part of your institution,
C'mon spit it out, say it out loud, and find salvation,
Pull the trigger now, you won't change my decisión.
Stand and fight, run no more, face your demons,




And don't dare to hide, if you die, die as hero
Bleed if you must, don't look back, you are just flesh and bones.
