Follow me to solace and safetynOver the tar-blackened river and past the gleaming yellow eyesnI hope I’m right this timenI can’t lose any more of you tonightnThey’re trusting me to lead them, but they don’t knownI’m just running from my fearnAre they catching on yet?nLet’s change our coursenI’m putting all that I’ve got into my last resortnnCan I count on you to make it work?nPeril and risk prowling around every cornernSudden death rushing at us from behind the cloudsnDanger and threat stalking weary stragglersnKeeping us on the very tips of our toenailsnnThe enemy has been on our scent for days,nOnly miles away from revenge they cravenThere has got to be a waynTo cover our tracksnOr what happens when we stop running?nI can’t be too panicked to protectnTell me, when we opened your eyesnDid we kill you or save your life?nnI thought we’d never break awaynFrom the city of the snares, always fighting to forget,nChoking out their memoriesnI was almost intimidated by their sleek exteriorsnBut the truth’s they were baited with the bestnThey claimed they had no choices leftnWhat value does gilded, useless armour havennWhen you finally need to fight?nStop with this show,nAnd repeat the pathetic blind surrender.nWe may be outnumbered;nWe’re not oblivious, we are not cowardsnLike every one of themnSo why am I still plaguednWith apprehension, hopelessness, guilt and shame?nIn spite of myself, I wonder Regretfully,nwhen we opened your eyes,nDid we save your life?nHow the hell did any of us survive?nPeril and risk dominating the nightnSudden death rushing at us from behind the cloudsnDanger and threat stalking weary stragglersnKeeping us on the very tips of our toenailsnnWhen the casualties outweigh survivors,nIs that when I’ll know I’ve been defeated?nWhile the passive deny, we act on acceptancenDid we save you or did we kill you?nnThe dread and turmoil now behind usnAn uncertain leader, we’re just fortunatenTo have gotten through it allnWe’re chasing utopia at the top of the worldnI can see it now—home.nWe’re almost there
