All In Vain

歌詞

My heart is testing me Taking the best of me Too weak to go on So take the time you need Nothing is guaranteed Even idols may drown Take back all you've said before Our lives are not much more than a metaphor There is a price to pay All we desire can be taken away Here we lay down our resolve A heavy moon surrenders its glow Illuminating the blood on new-fallen snow I watched them wait in line Blank faces frozen in time Never to thaw, yet they beg for more I have opened up the veins of the earth I have drunk from the sky and the sea Is this all worth dying for? Our lives are not much more than a metaphor A fool's pursuit Burn the roots before the fruit is rotten Burn the roots Let us germinate and start anew If indeed there is more to see Then let the truth reveal itself to me I have opened up the veins of the earth I have drunk from the sky and sea I have opened up the veins of the earth And there is nothing there for me Ever pessimistic Nihilistic state of mind Fatally hedonistic Watch as we slip into decline Frozen in time My heart is testing me Taking the best of me Too weak to go on So take the time you need Nothing is guaranteed Even idols may drown We all deserve to be Held like a memory But some will never know Is this all worth dying for? Our lives are not much more than a metaphor A fool's pursuit Burn the roots before the fruit is rotten Take back all you've said before Our lives are not much more than a metaphor A fool's pursuit Burn the roots before the fruit is rotten Burn the roots, the fruit is rotten
