Long lost and gone Erased by the trust Off-limits by law and fiercely tabooed Yet everywhere to be found When the cleansing began When supplies shrank to naught When everyone gathered all that's left And all that's left is hope Bear up Don't let them take away what we held on for so long Don't let go I will not give away what keeps me strong Mark my words I'd rather die than live a life in despair For what it's worth let's end this misery right here So it comes down to this Hanging by the shackles they put on with ease Put all my fears behind my back and I'm forced to look ahead And as I'm watching The nightfall I have come to fear My silver linings starts to dim and falls below the edge All my life I've been taking things they what they came at me Seeing good in times of misery never losing track Dark days have come They're turning the tide Killing off all gleams of light and the hope we hold inside So it comes down to this Put all my fears behind my back And as I'm watching So it comes down to this Hanging by the shackles they put on with ease Put all my fears behind my back and I'm forced to look ahead And as I'm watching The nightfall I have come to fear My silver linings starts to dim and falls below the edge And as I'm watching The nightfall I have come to fear My silver linings starts to dim and falls below the edge
