Lament for the Condemned Songtext

von Lord of the Lost

My fingers tingle
A sign that doom is due
An avalanche of anguish
Engulfing me and you

Is this the end or
A brand new misery
The species endangered
Who'll die for liberty?

Stay strong
Rage on and on and on
Stay strong
Rage on and on

In a perfect world
Love leads and peace pursues
In a perfect world
No hopes are abused

Lawless detention
Wires strapped to your head
Memories forbidden
As freedom's for the dead

My fingers obscure
Your grotesque demise
My words of insurgence
Take on a dreadful guise

Stay strong
Rage on and on and on
Stay strong
Rage on and on

In a perfect world
Love leads and peace pursues
In a perfect world
Each tyrant colludes

They let me hold you
But you're not there
They've dimmed the light inside your mind
That hallowed soul is elsewhere

I taste the cold truth
Tears in your hair
Unrecognised, my spirit dies
I'll make them pay my dear, I swear

This is a lament
For the condemned
The partisans, the also-rans
And all our fallen fiends and friends

Oh, I know
The road is hard on which we roam

In a perfect world
Free from such scum
In a perfect world
We'd still be one

Stay strong
Rage on and on and on
Stay strong
Rage on and on
Stay strong
Rage on and on and on
Stay strong
Rage on and on and on and on
