A Raven's Curse Letra

From what we believed was right
Add to this if they had known
Who knew?
It’d be taken away

The truth lies just beneath this
A piston popping with no release valve now

The outward-bound cast to dwell in this downward spiral

Our backs are broken from the weight of the fall
Star-ward gazing while we stand up and we stand tall
‘Cause we both know that we might get our shot tonight

To be something more than this
Our blessed curse sealed with a deadly kiss
Full speed ahead on these half drawn sails
Our breath won’t fail us now

You can save the world a million times but get credit for the fall
Even though you had nothing to with it
Nothing to do at all
We kept this dream alive straight-laced with suicide

Don’t slouch down boy
You’ll only orchestrate your fall
Fifty miles above this all
You can hear the complacent complying
And the ignorant few multiplying
All while trying to wake up the already dead

This is not what we believe
A candy-coated lie filled with broken dreams
That’s tearing apart at the seams
But this time

I will never turn my back on you
No matter what’s been said or everything I had to do
And when it’s time I hope I’m not the only one
With guns out blazing
But will you be awestruck staring?
Without raising a fist or raising your voice
Scoffed at the thought of a choice
We wait for the eye of the storm to pass by
Punch-drunk in pursuit of an abstract ideal
When I’m just trying to feel out something real

We kept this dream alive straight-laced with suicide
Devoid of foolish pride
All we have’s forsaken
The heartless have just taken it for themselves
Just walk away
Don’t shoulder the weight of the world
