lyrics

Seven degrees and stolen melodies
And in the darkness
You sing to me in silence

The world is burning down
And no one cares no more and no one's listening
And all around you see waves of apathy, the captain's missing
And heavy hangs the sword, and no one wants the crown
This world will break your heart
This world will break you down

A lonely whisper, the angels listen
An axe, an arrow, a sword, a sparrow
Your eyes, your echoes, your drowning sorrows
The secrets you hide, the scent of the rain
The light is bending, we're all pretending
The saviour's coming to save us from ourselves
The love you tasted, the heart you wasted
The misconception of your narrative
Well overcome this and don't become a victim of the hype machine
